Redirect http://- to https:// with tsung recorder

I’m trying to run tsung-recorder from my ubuntu VM

I have set up a proxy in firefox, localhost:8090

The site I'm trying to use tsung-recorder with is https://

According to the docs

For HTTPS recording, use http://- instead of https:// in your browser

My app is also a single page app, which makes requests to apis from the client.
With this approach, my app is trying to make requests to http://-api.whatever.com when it should be https://api.whatever.com

Is there any way around this?

If you hook your browser into the the proxy recorder and start it up, it should automatically add the handle the conversion where necessary while you hit the api. I'm not sure why your API would fail. Can you explain a bit more?
