I try to record my test with jmeter. So I configure my JMeter Script Recorder to use the port 8080. In my browser, i set the proxy to localhost 8080. I my system.properties file, I set the proxy of my firm.
When I start the recorder and try to go on my site, I've the following error "Connexion reset". When I try to go on google I've the following error "content encoding error".
Do you have any Idea ?
HTTP Error 401 stands for Unauthorized so my expectation is that your corporate proxy required valid credentials. As per Using JMeter behind a proxy article you can pass username and password via -u and -a command-line arguments correspondingly.
-H[proxy server hostname or ip address]
-P[proxy server port]
-N[nonproxy hosts] (e.g. *.apache.org|localhost)
-u[username for proxy authentication - if required]
-a[password for proxy authentication - if required]
So you need to start JMeter like:
jmeter -H your_corporate_proxy_host -P your_corporate_proxy_port -u username -a password
Alternative option is using JMeter Chrome Extension, in this case you won't need to worry about setting up proxies and SSL certificates.
