sahi recording not working with DNS names on IE8
Hi Narayan,
Since we upgraded our test environment to IE8 and Windows 7, we have a problem when using DNS name in the browser.navigateTo("http://servername:portNum/address) Once IE8 is opened, nothing get recorded.
In the configuration of the proxy, I specified localhost:9999. Even if "Don't use this proxy server for local addresses" is checked (or not) nothing get recorded.
If I change the server name by the IP address, then I'm able to record as usual.
Note that we are using the version of Sahi that came with Twist 2.1.0.941 (I could not find the exact version of Sahi)
Also note that when we were using IE6 and Win XP, it was working perfectly!
Thanks for your help!

Is this issue still open?

Yes it is still open. It is a major issue for us since we have some Sharepoint sites to test and Sharepoint always update the url with the server name as soon as the page is refreshed.
So, specifying the ip address instead of the server name is not really usefull in this case...
Once again, thanks for your support
