Here is the Summary of the Resolution provided:
1. Add proxy info in the local.properties file.
lisa.http.webProxy.host=xxxxx
lisa.http.webProxy.port=80
lisa.http.webProxy.ssl.host=XXXX
lisa.http.webProxy.ssl.port=80
2. Configure the VSE Recorder to use Passthru style as "Proxy"
If you are sending HTTPS request, configure the VSE Recorder to use SSL to Server and to use SSL to Client - you can select the default keystore info and leave the recorder listening
3. . In the Testcase , Configure the "Rest " step to send HTTPS request to the live end point.
Add a companion - "Configure LISA to Use a Web Proxy" using your local IP Address and the port specified in the VSE Recorder (the listen port). Here VSE recorder is acting as proxy. It will take the real proxy info from local.properties.
Unchecked the option "Exclude Simple Hostnames"
Save the test case, Run the test in the ITR .
