As per discussion: - http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jmeter-dev/201512.mbox/%3CCAH9fUpZ8WMA9MBZZ8vwG%3DjCH-HhaAi8TPSMSfQ6NKcESky%2BD5Q%40mail.gmail.com%3E I think it is time now that we definitely drop HC3.1 support in JMeter. It hardens maintainability and hides some issues in test cases like Bug 58773 and previously TestCookieManager tests. I think also that giving too much choice to users hardens the learning path. I suggest we start by deprecating in 2.14 the following components: SoapSampler, we should I think deprecate it already in 2.14 as the Soap Template covers its features in a more efficient way HttpHC3Impl in documentation HC3CookieHandler in documentation And in next version drop: HTTPHC3Impl SoapSampler HTTPSampler2 used by SoapSampler HC3CookieHandler HttpHC3Impl LoopbackHttpClientSocketFactory SlowHttpClientSocketFactory
