You can extract values from the XHTML page that was sent back using
the <xpath> task, and have that assigned to an Ant property. You can
later on pass that property in your request. Something like this:
<httpRequest href="/url1">
<match>
<xpath select="/html/body/p/link" property="newslink"/>
</match>
</httpRequest>
<httpRequest href="/url2">
<parameter name="param" value="${newslink}"/>
</httpRequest>
