          <bug_file_loc>The question is, should we stop on meta refresh (because we may be testing a page the user never sees, or should we test the page anyway, as if the timeout is long enough, they will in fact see it).  Where does warning the user that the results may not refer to the page they tohout they were testing fit in to all this? http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/track/issues/214</bug_file_loc>

    <thetext>The question is, should we stop on meta refresh (because we may be testing a page the user never sees, or should we test the page anyway, as if the timeout is long enough, they will in fact see it).

Where does warning the user that the results may not refer to the page they tohout they were testing fit in to all this?

Should we actually follow Meta redirects, contrary to our religion?
