JMeter HTTP Proxy server is not recording

I had a similar problem when configuring firefox for proxy and recording on localhost. In Firefox -> Tools -> options -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings there was an entry for localhost in No Proxy for.

I removed that and it works

Remove everything in :

• URLs patterns to include

• URLs patterns to exclude

click on Add suggested excludes

It should work.

Currently your include patterns are wrong :

• https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Proxy_Server

The include and exclude patterns are treated as regular expressions (using Jakarta ORO). They will be matched against the host name, port (actual or implied) path and query (if any) of each browser request. If the URL you are browsing is "http://jmeter.apache.org/jmeter/index.html?username=xxxx" , then the regular expression will be tested against the string: "jmeter.apache.org:80/jmeter/index.html?username=xxxx" . Thus, if you want to include all .html files, your regular expression might look like: "..html(\?.)?" - or ".*.html" if you know that there is no query string or you only want html pages without query strings.

See this reference documentation for how to record:

I have faced similar problem, please see below. As JMETER proxy is running on localhost, please uncheck the below checkbox.
