Hi Andrey, I've encountered you're situation as well in different circumstances:
I have to test something like http://localServer1:port1/folder1/<various actions i want to test> However, the programmers change localServer1 and folder1 ALL THE TIME due to the various branches of the application. Therefore, when I record the test plan with the Proxy Server, - add User Defined Variable in the test plan or in the workbench (doesn't matter) |- add a variable like basePath = "folder1" Now, all the samples recorded are like: http://${server}:${port}/${basePath}/<whatever needs to be tested> - note that the proxy server substitutes actual text found in the requests from the browsers with the variable that has such a value... therefore, I figure out all the variables I need to use in the test script and when I record I make sure I have them all in the User Defined Variable with the correct value. >From now on, when a new branch of the application is launched, they change the folder1 to folderX and I only have to change one variable. This makes things a lot easier then to edit all samples with a text editor (or manually). Don't know if this is what you were looking for, but I doubt there is a better way than this.
