비교 예시 / Example comparison HTTP: 200, 이동 없음 / no redirect 브라우저 / Browser: 스크립트 실행 후 다른 페이지 / later script navigation
Steps to verify
- Record the last HTTP response.
- Read the browser’s final URL.
- Review navigation conditions with the operator.
How to interpret the result
JavaScript and meta refresh differ from HTTP Location redirects. Redirect Check does not execute them, so those moves can be absent.
Deciding what to do next
Cookies, login and device conditions can change navigation. Record whether the comparisons used equivalent conditions.
Feature scope
Follow bounded HTTP redirects of public URLs, without reproducing JavaScript or meta refresh navigation or certifying destination safety.
Frequently asked questions
Is the result necessarily wrong because a browser moves further?
It can be correct within HTTP scope. Execution-based navigation requires a separate check.
