Hi Sebb,
  Your reason on JMeter proxy not supporting HTTPS :
No, this is because it is not possible to extract the information
needed to construct the samplers from HTTPS traffic. If it was, then
HTTPS would not be secure.
Can you throw some more light on this since I am not so conversant with =
the nitty gritty of samplers from a developer's view-point.

No support for HTTPS is a bottleneck for using JMeter in black-box =
testing of secured sites.

Thanks & Regards,
Kakoli

No, this is because it is not possible to extract the information
needed to construct the samplers from HTTPS traffic. If it was, then
HTTPS would not be secure.

I don't know if it has been fixed in Java 1.5.

This is referring to a different proxy usage, where JMeter uses a
proxy to contact remote servers via a proxy.

The JMeter proxy server is where JMeter is acting as a proxy, and you
tell the browser to connect via the JMeter proxy for the purpose of
creating samplers in a test plan.
