Hi,

When I start the JMeter Http Proxy Server controller (localhost:9090) and call
# lynx http://localhost:9090 -verbose

I get as an answer:

   java.net.UnknownHostException: / at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:177) at
   java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:520) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:470) at

Wouldn't it be better to display a verbose error message instead of the stacktrace?

Possible error message:

"You are talking with a proxy. Please configure your browser accordingly and pass the wished url."

Thanks for your great work.

It looks to be quite difficult to implement this, so unless someone provides a patch it won't be implemented.
