search and replace feature

[Felix Schumacher <fe...@internetallee.de>]

Hi all,

while looking after Bug 63025 I saw, that the only samplers that are 
"Replaceable" are HTTPSamplerBase and HeaderManager.

Shouldn't we extend the set of samplers further?

The second thing I noticed was the repetitive code that is used to do 
the replacement of the values. I think the new code in HTTPSamplerBase 
could be moved somewhere else (into the interface Replaceable?) and be 
reused from HeaderManager. What do you think?

Regards,

  Felix

There are 2 reasons if I remember :

- it was an expertiment and intention was to have something working and
useful even if not complete and a basis to see if feature would be useful.
In my usage and feedback it ended up being useful
- My intention was to center the feature on correlation, that’s why it
concerns more http related elements
