be able to record a script in cli mode - without GUI using -n command line option

[bgranier]

Use case

We get three uses cases :

• in a micro services architecture, we want to record https flows between micro sevices deployed on server without graphics features.

• we get some network elements such as proxy or reversse proxy or idps and we want to record production flows between them in order to test upgrades on dedicated bed with real requests

• we get some old services and we do not know how they interact, recording flows between them will be helpful for mainteance purposes.

Possible solution

launch jmeter recording without gui to record flows on servers.

Possible workarounds

use others proxy products but if we do that we loose the oportunity to test with recorded flows.
