Unable to record using HTTP recording controller behind a prxoy

Question

I am accessing some external sites using company proxy server, in order to record in jMeter i have to change proxy settings to local host. Due to this i am unable to record those sites using jMeter. Can anyone help me on this issue.

Answer 1

You point jMeter proxy settings to your company proxy and your browser proxy to the local jMeter instance.

Gets you a flow like: Browser -> jMeter -> Company Proxy -> Internet

If you are testing from behind a firewall/proxy server, you may need to provide JMeter with the firewall/proxy server hostname and port number. To do so, run the jmeter[.bat] file from a command line with the following parameters:

jmeter -E https -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 -u username -a password -N localhost
