[hyades-dev] Hyades-Http Proxy Recorder Problem

[Mark D Dunn <mddunn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Tejas Patel,


I am responding to your question you
posted to hyades-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx related to using the Hyades Proxy recorder
through an HTTP Proxy.

First  you will need to set IE
parameters to point to your HTTP Proxy (before loading Eclipse and the
Rational Performance Tester).  Load IE, then go to Tools->Internet
Options->LAN Settings.  You should check the box for "Use
proxy server for your LAN ...", and set the Address and Port for your
HTTP Proxy.  An example is shown below.  You may also want to
click on the Advanced button to make sure that "Socks" is not
set.   After setting this option,  I suggest you test IE to make
sure the HTTP Proxy and port are correct and you can load any website.

The next thing you should do is load
Rational Performance Tester and set your preferences for the HTTP Proxy
recorder.  From RPT, go to Window->Preferences->Test->HTTP
Proxy Recorder.  Set "Proxy Recorder Local Port" to 1080.
 You can set this to another port if you know that 1080 is already
used.  Do not set this to Port 80, since many other applications use
this as their default port, and the Recorder opens the port in non-sharing
mode.  Then click on Apply, then OK.

After finishing these two steps, you
 should be able to record successfully.    Let me know if
you have any other problems.
