I'm new to jmeter.
I'm trying to test a web app using proxy server.
I have gone through the jmeter docs and got the settings but I'm currently working under company proxy.

So how can I set the proxy server for jmeter from behind the current proxy?

If you are testing from behind a firewall/proxy server, you may need to provide JMeter with the firewall/proxy server hostname and port number.

To do so, run the jmeter.bat/jmeter file from a command line with the following parameters: - '-H' [proxy server hostname or ip address] - '-P' [proxy server port] - '-N' [nonproxy hosts] (e.g. *.apache.org|localhost) - '-u' [username for proxy authentication - if required] - '-a' [password for proxy authentication - if required]

Example :

jmeter -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 -u username -a password -N localhost

Alternatively, you can use --proxyHost, --proxyPort, --username, and --password
