Again this should be in a FAQ.

Adding <header name="followRedirects" value="true" /> to your config tells HtmlUnit to honour client-side redirects based on the <meta> tag, e.g. within <head>...</head> you would have:

which would load the referenced jsp after (in this case) 0 seconds.

But note that client-side redirects using this mechanism are generally discouraged for accessibility reasons:

Hi,

I should write a FAQ somewhere...

"Redirect requested but followRedirects is disabled" is a message from commons-httpclient. Htmlunit disables the redirect at this level to be able to hanlde them itself. Therefore these messages are absolutely without any signification.

Mike, what is <header name="followRedirects" value="true" /> good for? I suppose that it only adds an http header to all the requests that are performed to your webserver and unless this one expects them (what would be really strange), it shouldn't bring anything.
