In jmeter.properties the mentioned property should allow to set the local ip address for HTTP requests. It does not work. Revising the class HTTPSampler2 i have found that 251: HostConfiguration hc = new HostConfiguration(); this "hc" object is correctly created but it is *not* used in the creation of the httpClient object.
I see what you mean. Not sure what is going on here, because I thought the proxy code was working, and that uses the HostConfiguration ... perhaps neither works. I've checked in a change to add the host configuration to the client object - if you would like to give it a try, this is in the nightly build: 2-2.20060907. If this fixes the problem (or not!) please update this issue accordingly. Thanks.
OK. It works fine now. Thanks.
