I see quoted URLs on quite a few pages (out of 130K): http://philip.html5.org/data/meta-refresh-quotes.txt 23209 2 zcorpan 2009-01-21 17:30:32 +0000 (Yes, I meant http-equiv of course, sorry.) Upon closer inspection the cited page is lacking the closing ", meaning that there's trailing garbage in the attribute value (that Opera includes in the URL but other browsers don't). So this should work: <meta http-equiv=refresh content="0; url='http://example.org/'foobar"> 23223 3 ian 2009-01-21 22:46:19 +0000 So your request is to check the URL for a leading ' or " character, and if there is one, truncate the URL starting from the next corresponding ' or " character? 23224 4 zcorpan 2009-01-22 06:24:03 +0000 Yes, that would work. (Also strip the leading ' or " of course.)
