be in the nightly or the next release.

Hi,
  Regarding black-box testing of secured sites :
No, it just means that you cannot use the JMeter proxy to generate the
test plan. You can always generate the samplers manually, or by using
Badboy.
If we have to generate samplers manually, then we need to know the exact
action that happens when we click 'Login'or 'submit' button in page to be
tested. But that is not possible in black-box testing.

What is the second option 'Badboy'? I don't know much about badboy. But I
assume it is a testing tool and can be used to record HTTPS which can be
exported in JMeter. If that is so, then JMeter can also include recording of
HTTPS in its future road-map.

Please read the user manual.

The samplers are the entries in the test plan that generate samples,
e.g. by doing a GET of a particular URL.

No, it just means that you cannot use the JMeter proxy to generate the
test plan. You can always generate the samplers manually, or by using
Badboy.
