I added an HTTP Authorization Manager to JMeter, an HTTP Request Default and an HTTP Proxy Server.
I configured my HTTP Authorization Manager control Panel as:

Base URL: http://www.gmail.com
Username: abc
Password: xxxxxxx

But I am getting error in internet explorer when I open http://gmail.com

Error:

There is a problem with this website’s security certificate.

The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority. The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website’s address.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or
intercept any data you send to the server.

Can anybody tell me what I am missing or doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

    What are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to log in to gmail to read emails via Jmeter?

    If so, it’s not as easy as pointing to the gmail URL and using BASIC authentication. You could get an idea of what’s involved by using BadBoy to record the actions you want to do and then export it to Jmeter.

    That said, this is not a good approach.

    I’d be looking at using the POP3 interface – trying to simulate a browser with Jmeter for a site like gmail which changes every day could be very difficult. It should be possible to write a Java POP3 client (or better yet, find an open source one) and call it from your Jmeter script.
