[Tsung] Help with https recording / Browser configuration

[Isaac Uribe]

Hi all,

First of all, thanks for this great software!

I'm having a problem trying to record a session with https. The docs
say: "For HTTPS recording, use http://{ instead of https:// in your
browser", so I tried that on different browsers (Opera, Firefox, IE),
even "wget", but I get pretty much the same error message from the
browser: "BROWSER can't find the server at {NAME_OF_PAGE".

I'm sure "tsung recorder" is working fine, I've used it to record a
couple of HTTP sessions through several GUI browsers, and I did this
test on the command line:

tsung recorder
	#Creating Tsung log directory /home/erl/.tsung/log
	#Starting Tsung recorder on port 8090
	#Record file: RECORD_FILE.xml
telnet MYIP 8090
GET http://NAME_OF_PAGE/ HTTP/1.0
	
Tailing RECORD_FILE.xml I can see a new entry:
	
<request><http url='http://NAME_OF_PAGE' version='1.0'
method='GET'></http></request>
	
Now, with https:
	
telnet MYIP 8090
GET http://{NAME_OF_PAGE/ HTTP/1.0
	
And, there it is, a new entry as expected:
	
<request><http url='https://NAME_OF_PAGE/' version='1.0'
method='GET'></http></request>

I just can't find a way to make it work on GUI browsers.

I know this is not at all a Tsung issue, It's a browser related
extra-validation, I was just wondering if somebody could point me into
the right direction to configure any GUI Browser and be able to use
"http://{" on the address bar.

Thanks in advance.
