ISSUE-156: Support HTTP Refresh header?

Support HTTP Refresh header?

State:
CLOSED
Product:
mobileOK Basic tests
Raised by:
Sean Owen
Opened on:

Description:
During the 10/19 call, Jo proposed revisiting our decision on the \"Refresh\"
header, and I tend to agree. We resolved to not write tests that refer to the
Refresh header since HTTP does not define such a header. But our tests refer to
<meta> tags with http-equiv=\"Refresh\", which we might exclude for exactly the
same reason. We don\'t of course since it\'s widely used. Jo further adds that
some browsers respond to Refresh as an HTTP header. I personally see no harm in
mentioning its header form in the tests. Dom had some objections to this, so I\'m
re-raising as an issue.

(Fixed the title, for posterity, after being unable to find this for ages. I
think the quote characters threw off trackbot and truncated the title)
