Using a proxy with the HTTP Full Web Page sensor

The HTTP Full Web Page sensor uses a browser engine to measure the loading time of a web page.

For all browser engines, the same proxy settings are used that are configured for the Windows user account that the probe runs on. This is usually the Windows local "system" user account, if you did not change it. To use a proxy to measure the loading time of a web page, you need to adjust the proxy settings accordingly.

The proxy settings are accessible using the following method, for example:

Control Panel

You can access the proxy settings using the Control Panel.

1. From the Windows start menu, open the Control Panel.
2. Click Network and Internet.
3. Click Internet Options.
4. Go to the Connections tab.
5. Under Local Area Network (LAN) settings, click the LAN settings button.
