HTTP Proxy Recorder Preferences Dialog

Proxy recorder preferences specify the web browser that recorded applications start from, the program that generates tests from a recorded session, and the port to which the HTTP server at the application site redirects traffic to be recorded.

Application to record

Select the browser that you start HTTP applications from, or select none if you prefer to set up recording manually.

As released, only Internet Explorer is selectable. To add another browser (Netscape, Mozilla, etc.) to the drop-down list, see Adding a browser to the Hyades recording framework

.

Test generator

Select the test generator to use with the recording, or select none if you prefer to set up test generation manually. If you select a test generator, it starts automatically at the conclusion of recording and generates a test from the recorded application data.

As released, only HTTP Test Generator is selectable. To add a custom generator to the drop-down list, see Adding a custom generator to the Hyades recording framework.

Proxy recorder local port

Enter the number of a free port on the local machine to be used by the HTTP recorder, or accept the default. The recorder listens on this port.

By default, the recorder runs on the local machine, but it can be configured to start on a remote host: see Starting the HTTP proxy recorder on a remote host. If this is done, the port specified here is a free port on that remote host.
