A: 302 → B
B: 301 → C
C: 200

Steps to verify

  • Read each step and Location.
  • Record final URL and status.
  • Verify the intended page directly.

How to interpret the result

Intermediate statuses describe movement; the last status describes the arrival response. Even a normal HTTP result needs a content check.

Deciding what to do next

URLTO public short links redirect with 302 to the saved destination. The destination may redirect further or return errors; review the end of the chain.

Feature scope

Follow bounded HTTP redirects of public URLs, without reproducing JavaScript or meta refresh navigation or certifying destination safety.
