Description verygoodguy33 2005-03-31 16:50:49 UTC 
if the validator comes accross a response.redirect (ASP code) it stops 
validation of the current page and instead validates the target page of the 
response.redirect.
Comment 1 Terje Bless 2005-03-31 18:20:24 UTC 
Can you provide an URL that demonstrates this behaviour?
Comment 2 verygoodguy33 2005-03-31 21:26:59 UTC 
the a.asp file (see URL) has a response.redirect to default.asp

result in validator:
Note:The URL you gave me, <http://www.theprofoundone.com/a.asp>, returned a 
redirect to <http://www.theprofoundone.com/default.asp?page=Home>.
Comment 3 Terje Bless 2005-04-01 04:30:46 UTC 
The ASP code "response.redirect" causes the server to emit a "302 Moved" HTTP status code;
i.e. it issues a redirect. That the Validator follows this redirect is a feature not a bug.
Comment 4 verygoodguy33 2005-04-01 12:00:57 UTC 
well i its a feature that should be optional.. this way i cant completely 
verify the pages i'm making because almost every page uses at least one 
redirect..
