JMeter Proxy Step-by-Step

This short tutorial attempts to explain the exact steps for JMeter's proxy. For those new to Jmeter, one easy way to create a test plan is to use the Proxy. What the proxy does is it records the requests sent to the server. Jmeter's proxy currently does not support recording HTTPS. Since HTTPS is secure, the proxy is unable to decrypt the traffic and record the request parameters or cookies. There are several ways to get around this limitation. The easiest method is to use Badboy http://www.badboy.com.au/. The second option is to record in HTTP and then change the test plan to use HTTP request defaults. [via]
