           Summary: Proxy config documentation mistake
           Product: JMeter
           Version: 2.0.2
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/get-
                    started.html#configuring_jmeter
        OS/Version: Windows 2000
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTTP
        AssignedTo: jmeter-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: martinr@sun.com


Summary:

Section "2.4.4 Server Mode" of the User Manual reads:
===
 -H [proxy server hostname or ip address]
 -P [proxy server port]

Example : jmeter-server -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 
(http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/get-started.html#configuring_jmeter)
===

This should be:
===
 -H[proxy server hostname or ip address]
 -P[proxy server port]

Example : jmeter-server -Hmy.proxy.server -P8000 
===


Rationale:

This is a report of the problem that I stumbled upon:

First of all there's a mistake in the documentation:
  jmeter-server -H my.proxy.server -P 8080
should be
  jmeter-server -Hmy.proxy.server -P8080

Furthermore JMeter displays "intelligent behavior".
When it can't reach the proxy-server it sends the requests anyway via a direct
route.

I already had a service running on port 8080 (without my knowledge) so the
actual proxy couldn't bind to it. Which made the behavior I saw mind boggling.

I tried fumbling around with the flags, accidently making it accept the proxy
configuration parameters (which I didn't know of course), but then JMeter
stumbled on a non proxy server on port 8080 after which the intelligent behavior
kicked in afgain and sent it via a direct route.
