JMeter : How to record HTTPS traffic?

by

  1. Starting from JMeter 3.0 default port for the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is 8888

  2. The easiest way to configure recording is using JMeter Templates feature. From JMeter’s main menu select:

    File -> Templates -> Recording -> Create

Recording Template

  1. Don’t forget to start the recorder :

    • In JMeter < 4.0, Expand “Workbench”, if >= 4.0, ignore this step
    • Select “HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder”
    • Click “Start” button

Start Recorder

  1. You will see a message regarding Root CA Certificate. Click OK:

Ok for message

  • it is OK, it informs you JMeter has created a Root Certificate Authority that you need to import in your browser to be able to record correctly HTTPS traffic.

    Start proxy

    1. To Import this Root CA certificate in Firefox (it is located in jmeter/bin folder) for example:

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Step 5

  1. Configure browser to use JMeter as proxy:

Configure JMeter as proxy in Browser

It is now Ok.

  • You can navigate to your application, samplers will be created under “Recording Controller” which is under “Thread Group” element
