[OpenSTA-users] very basic question

[<WL...@wi...>]

I have a HTTP client application running on linux that gets xml documents
from an intranet web server. I want to use openSTA to load test the web
server with test scripts generated by running the client . How can I do
this? I Can I use the openSTA proxy to record the incoming request and then
redirect to the destination intranet web server to retrieve the response?
I'm having a hard time understanding the help section below:

===============
If there is no browser installed, or if you want to use another computer to
record your Scripts, you can choose the Remote recording mode. You can use
any networked computer with a browser installed to conduct remote Script
recording. If you use Remote recording mode you must manually modify the
proxy server settings of the browser on the remote computer. Make a note of
these settings because you need to copy them exactly into the Gateway
settings on the computer from where you are recording.
