Ignore/turn of ssl in Jmeter is not working

Question

I am doing performance testing (HTTPS request) on the custom server using Jmeter. But I am facing these errors,

As per SSL Encryption chapter of JMeter Documentation:

The JMeter HTTP samplers are configured to accept all certificates, whether trusted or not, regardless of validity periods, etc. This is to allow the maximum flexibility in testing servers.

so it's not the case JMeter doesn't trust the certificate, it must be something else.

Try adding javax.net.debug=all line to system.properties of your JMeter installation and inspect the console output, it should give you the clue where the problem is.

More information:

If you want to "turn off SSL" completely - change "Protocol" to http and "Port" to 80 in the HTTP Request Defaults (however in that case your system under test must expose a HTTP connector on port 80)

javax.net.debug=all line is already added to the system.properties file. But still the issue exists. changing "Protocol" to http and "Port" to 80 in the HTTP Request Defaults, popped new error "org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connect to :80 failed: Operation timed out — Niveditha Nimmi, Sep 05 '22 at 12:53

I had missed the header called "Accept-Encoding" in the HTTP Header Manager. Adding it resolved my issue.
