The HTTP proxy recorder in Application Test will only record what is going over the wire between a web browser and a server.
If there is any rich UI frameworks involved in the web application, you will not be able to record and play back since the HTTP Proxy Recorder is not a browser simulator.
If you are looking doing a browser simulation recording (as in driving a UI) you need to use Selenium to accomplish the recording.
Below is some documentation on using Selenium:
There has been a change to Selenium Builder since this documentation, Selenium Builder 3.0.9 is what now comes with Firefox.
You cannot run locally anymore from Selenium Builder, you need to run from Selenium Server. This is just a jar file that gets downloaded and then when you execute the jar file it runs like this example: (Current Selenium Standalone Server is 2.53.0)
C:\SeleniumServer>java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.50.1.jar
10:34:56.286 INFO - Launching a standalone Selenium Server
10:34:56.537 INFO - Java: Oracle Corporation 25.71-b15

10:34:56.741 INFO - Driver provider org.openqa.selenium.safari.SafariDriver registration is skipped:

10:34:57.163 INFO - Selenium Server is up and running
Once you record your website, when you play it back in Selenium Builder the information you need will be in the display like above.
Selenium Server can be gotten from: http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/
