Set up Jmeter proxy for curl commands

Question

I'm new to JMeter and I want to test performance of api and recording test case with JMeter proxy.

I've first followed instruction here http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.pdf and all worked fine.

I am calling this api using curl commands. Question is how to set up proxy for that requests are recorded in the JMeter when running curl commands

It should be pretty easy to just rewrite the same requests in Jmeter, if you have a script ready.
Anyway, cUrl has a proxy option.

 -x, --proxy <[protocol://][user:password@]proxyhost[:port]>

      Use the specified HTTP proxy. 
      If the port number is not specified, it is assumed at port 1080.

You can set it to the Jmeter proxy.

Hope it helps :)

I did not get this. I can easily set up a proxy server for mozilla using below two steps 1. Install jmeter certificate in Mozilla 2. In the Network settings in mozilla , choose manual proxy settings set as Http Proxy:"localhost" and PortNumber:8080. I do not require any username password to do this. How can the same be done with culr.

protocol, user, password and port are optional. in your case you will need to add to each curl -x http://localhost:8080
