Using Proxy v. Auth Manager in JMeter

[An...@ipaustralia.gov.au]

Hi All,

can anyone tell me the difference between using Proxy setting at start up 
and using the authManager in a test plan. I have an issue where if I use a 
simple piece of code see below to access  a web page it works, but through 
JMeter (which I know uses the java.net. classes) to open the same URL 
nothing happens. 

thanks

Andrew.


URL url = new URL(urlName);
 
                        HttpURLConnection uc = 
(HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();

                        // the following line makes URLConnection look 
like MSIE
                      uc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 
(compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT)");
 
                        uc.setRequestMethod("GET");

                        // the following three lines calculate a 
BASE64-encoded username/password for the proxy

                        String userName = "";  // put your proxy/internet 
username here
                        String passWord = "";  // put your proxy/internet 
password here
                      String auth = "Basic " + new 
sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode((userName + ":" + passWord).getBytes());

                        // comment out the following three lines to switch 
off proxy access
                      uc.setRequestProperty("Proxy-Authorization", auth);
                      System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", 
"proxy.xxx.xxx");
                      System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "XXX");

It sounds like you have a proxy server that requires login info?  JMeter was 
recently upgraded to handle this - when you set the proxy server and port on the 
command line when starting JMeter, you can also set the username and password.  
You can read about it at:
