   I think this would be a really useful feature, and see as the original ticket didn't go into a lot of detail I'll provide my use case. When I need to run a load test on a website I want to capture all of the requests that happen during a page load and replay them through JMeter. The current way of doing this is:
   
   - Create an HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
   - Create a Recording Controller
   - Click start on the Test Script Recorder
   - Configure your browser to use JMeter as a proxy
   - Load the page, **ignoring the TLS warning**
   - Stop the recording
   - Remove the proxy configuration from your browser
   - Go through the recorded requests to remove requests from other browser tabs and the browser itself.
   
   This can be a very time consuming process if you need to add many pages to your test plan. Compare this to a potential workflow that uses HAR files.
   
   - Open the developer tools in your browser
   - Load the page
   - In the Network tab of the dev tools, right click and export as a HAR file.
   - In JMeter right click on the Thread Group and click "Add HTTP requests from HAR file"
