Hello Pierre,
I must first tell you that I have not attempted a HTTP recording through a
VPN, so I don't know for sure if it should work. If I get a chance
tonight, I will attempt a HTTP Recording from home though my company's
VPN. However, my manager told me that he has attempted a recording
through a VPN recently and that it does not work. We have not made any
official claim whether we do or do not support it to the best of my
knowledge.
The error message you are seeing is because the HTTP Recorder has detected
that you are using a Proxy Automatic Configuration script to connect to
the internet. Since the PAC script can tell Internet Explorer to NOT go
through a proxy to access many sites, we do not support that
configuration. That would lead to incomplete and inaccurate recordings.
The HTTP Recorder queries the registry for several IE settings that would
preclude the recording from being successful.
The TPTP HTTP Recorder acts as a proxy to IE (or Firefox). For IE, it
manipulates the registry and directs IE to send all its HTTP traffic to
where the recorder is 'listening' on the localhost machine and port 1080
(by default). It then pulls out the information it needs to write the
recording file, and sends the HTTP traffic where it supposed to go. A
Proxy Automatic Configuration script can tell IE to NOT send its HTTP
traffic to where the recorder is 'listening'. This leads to incomplete or
empty recordings. That is why we do not support that configuration.
Although I am uncertain at this moment if we support an HTTP recording
through a VPN, I know for sure you will get the error message you saw as
long as the box is checked for 'Use automation configuration script' box
from IE at Tools->Internet Settings->Connections->LAN Settings. If you
can uncheck that box, and still connect to the internet and browse
successfully, I suggest you could try a recording again. I would be
interested to hear if you could record successfully then.
