I don't have an immediate need for the others, but I'm sure some of them will come up as the tests grow. I can already think of places I could use the HTML Link HRef Extractor.
I started toying with some ideas by using o.a.j.protocol.http.parser.HtmlParser.getDOM and looking for matching nodes. I assume this isn't the most efficient way of doing it. I saw some references to HTMLParser (http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net) in other replies. Is that already included in JMeter? Should I look into using that instead?
