HTML Link Parser element is probably rarely used and can be deprecated imho
HTTP URL Re-writing element can be useful for testing webapp without
cookie manager but probably for a very old app of the time when the
cookie is appeared into the browsers... Probably it's can be deprecated too.

Hello,
What do you think of deprecating HTML Link Parser and HTTP URL Re-writing
Modifier?
- I am not sure they are widely used
- Their design does not suit well for performance as :
- they require Previous Response, as a consequence, they do not work
in Distributed mode
- they use a Dom parser + Tidy
- They are based on old HTML parser so I don't think they work
properly with new HTML 5 code
- They suffer from old bugs:
- https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17252
- https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59943 => It was not
reported on this element, but investigation showed it was affected
We could ask question on User mailing list and twitter to see if it's used.
