Question

I am learning JMeterProxy using WAMP and opencart web app.I did a recording using HTTP Proxy Server. I configured firefox and recording went smoothly. But if i am using IE, nothing seems to be recorded. I added a tree view listener in HTTP Proxy to log the recording, nothing is logged in it when i am using IE.

Some observations:

1. when i stop recording and if i try to access the local site using FF, it is not accessible, but in case of IE i could open the site.
2. If i browse an external site, recording is working.
3. I am accessing my site as http://localhost:81/opencart/index.php, since 80 port is used by IIS

My question is.

1. How would i trouble shoot this kind of scenario.
2. What changes i should i make in IE proxy settings.

Answer 1

I solved this problem, Here is the solution, as per JMeter documentation

If JMeter does not record browser URLs such as http://localhost/ or
"http://127.0.0.1/", try using the non-loopback hostname or IP address,
e.g. http://myhost/ or "http://192.168.0.2/"

So providing the host name in place of loop back address solved the problem
