title: JMeter HTTP Proxy server is not recording
body: <p>We are trying to do performance testing using JMeter. </p>
  
  <p>I used the sample guide provided in jmeter using HTTP PROXY SERVER but my record controller was not recording any requests. </p>
  
  <p>After doing a lot of research and here is what the complete scenario is.</p>
  
  <p>I am accessing external sites using company proxy server. So, after a bit of research, I  understand I need to start my jmeter by supplying all information via command line. e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>jmeter -H 129.198.1.1 -P 8000 -u someusername -a someuserpassword -N localhost
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now i understand that, i don't need to confuse these settings. By default JMETER uses its own internal proxy server. </p>
  
  <p>We need to configure our browser so that it uses jmeter proxy settings and i did that way.</p>
  
  <p>I added a thread group, a recording controller, http proxy server with url include patterns and exclude patterns but still, it's not able to record any scripts. </p>
  
  <p>What am i doing wrong? Can someone help me with it? </p>
  
  <p>I used document JMeter proxy step by step which comes bundled with JMETER documentation. 
  Here is my configuration</p>
