Re: [Loadsim-users] Recording with SSL (https)

[Vincent S. <vsh...@op...>]

You cannot record in SSL mode.

SSL is meant to encrypt the HTTP stream between the client and server. 
The only thing that can decrypt the stream (which the recorder needs to
be able to do) is the server and your browser.  Think of it this way: if
all you have to do to break SSL encryption is put a proxy server (which
is all the recorder is) in between a browser and the webserver then
HTTPS wouldn't be very secure.

What you have to do is record using HTTP.  You can do the playback (the
load test) using HTTPS (that is where the jar file comes in) but you
will need to edit the resulting recorded session and replace all
occurences of 'http' with https.

One last thing:  the only JVM that I know loadsim will work with is JDK
1.3.0.

Hope that helps.
