+ <p>The Authorization Manager lets you specify one or more user logins for web pages that are
+restricted using Basic HTTP Authentication. You see this type of authentication when you use
+your browser to access a restricted page, and your browser displays a login dialog box. JMeter
+transmits the login information when it encounters this type of page.</p>

+ <p><a href="../demos/AuthManagerTestPlan.jmx">Download</a> this example. In this example, we created a Test Plan on a local server that sends three HTTP requests, two requiring a login and the
+other is open to everyone. See figure 2 to see the makeup of our Test Plan. On our server, we have a restricted
+directory named, "secret", which contains two files, "index.html" and "index2.html". We created a login id named, "kevin",
+which has a password of "spot". So, in our Authorization Manager, we created an entry for the restricted directory and
+a username and password (see figure 3). The two HTTP requests named "SecretPage1" and "SecretPage2" make requests
+to "/secret/index1.html" and "/secret/index2.html". The other HTTP request, named "NoSecretPage" makes a request to
+"/index.html".</p>
+ <p>When we run the Test Plan, JMeter looks in the Authorization table for the URL it is requesting. If the Base URL matches
+the URL, then JMeter passes this information along with the request.</p>

+ <p>The Proxy Server acts as a gateway between your web browser and the Internet (or your ISP's proxy server, if applicable).
+Instead of manually creating HTTP Request controllers, you can use a web browser. In order to do this, you need to configure
+your browser to use the JMeter proxy server. This proxy server listens to your browser's HTTP requests and creates the necessary HTTP Request
+controllers. You can place the Proxy Server element in the Thread Group. It is ok to leave this element when you run the
+Test Plan because it will not affect JMeter.</p>
+ <p>JMeter places the HTTP Request controllers in the Thread Group, or if you have a Simple Logic Controller, JMeter places
+them there. Also, if you have a HTTP Request Defaults element, then the HTTP Request controllers will have empty fields for
+the default values you specified.</p>
+ <p>
+<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
+ <tr><td><b>NOTE:</b> If you have more than one Simple Logic Controller, JMeter adds HTTP Request Controllers to each
+of your Simple Logic Controllers. We plan to correct this in a future release.</td></tr>
+</table>
+</p>
+ <p>The Include and Exclude fields allow you to filter requests. If, for example, you leave both fields blank, then JMeter
+will record every action of your browser. This can often result in 20+ test samples being recorded for each web page
+(it will record all image requests, CSS files, Javascript files, etc). This is probably not desirable. The Include/Exclude fields
+give you some say over what gets recorded. </p>
+ <p>If the Include field is left empty, then all requests will "pass" the include test. If the Exclude field is left empty, then all
+request will "pass" the exclude test. Once the Include field has at least one entry, then only those requests that match at
+least one entry will "pass" ("pass" means "be recorded"). </p>
+ <p>If the Exclude field is left empty, then all requests (that have passed the Include field check) will pass. If there are
+entries in the Exclude field, then any request that matches at least one entry will not be recorded.</p>

+ <li>Port - Port the proxy server listens for your browser's requests. The default port is 8080.</li>
+ <li>Patterns to Include - Regular expression patterns describing which links you want JMeter to create
+HTTP Request controllers. For example, the pattern, <b>.*\.jsp</b>, means all links that have an extension of ".jsp". After
+typing the regular expression, press the ENTER/RETURN key to add the regular expression to the list.</li>
