JMeter and HTTPS
Making HTTPS Requests
JMeter can make HTTPS requests - just create an HTTP Request Sampler, and set the protocol to https (instead of blank).
Problems With Invalid SSL Server Certificates
These should no longer occur; JMeter now ignores all certificate errors such as expiry and incorrect hostname.
Recording HTTPS
The JMeter proxy can record HTTP requests, but it cannot record HTTPS, because the data is already encrypted by the time it reaches the JMeter proxy. If the proxy could decrypt it, it would not be very secure ...
So, what are the options for generating test plans using HTTPS?
just create the requests manually.
if your server supports it, record the session using HTTP, and then change the default to HTTPS
use a browser add-on that can record the requests before they are encrypted. Check for

Firefox extensions; or for IE, check out BadBoy use the recently added Proxy Server
