Hi,

I am using Grinder 3.11 on Java 1.7.

Grinder TCP Proxy uses its own certificate to enable it to intercept HTTPS 
connection from the browser. Effectively it pretends to be the target 
server. But unlike Jmeter (2.10 onwards) it does NOT generate certificates 
for each target server as necessary. It generates for "localhost" only. 
Due to this Jmeter has the advantage that even embedded HTTPS resources 
can be intercepted, and there is no need to override the browser checks 
for each new server. (Browsers don't prompt for embedded resources.) So 
with Grinder and earlier versions of Jmeter, embedded resources would only 
be downloaded for servers that were already 'known' to the browser). 

Can we expect a work around for this in Grinder? It will definitely reduce 
the recording effort for sites having a lot of embedded SSL resources and 
redirection to many other SSL domains.


Best Regards
