Well, that certainly does answer my question quite nicely - thank you for that! In setting up that tool, I obviously overlooked the key bit about it not working in distributed mode.
As far as my usage, it seemed like the correct tool for this usage - because appending a JSESSION ID to the URL in this application is used in lieu of a cookie to maintain the user session, it seemed tailor made. I'll try using a RegEx Extractor instead and just append the path statements with a variable pulled from that. Thanks again!

Here is an excerpt from discussion: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Regards Philippe On Wed, Jan 25, 2017 at 6:24 PM, Hohmann, Kurt D <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Philippe! > > I was not aware of the 'mode=Standard' switch - I had skipped a few > releases and never picked up on that one when I upgraded to 3.1. > However, it's not working as I expected it to. > > If I have that switch turned on in my user.properties, the script runs > fine.
