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.
