Comment 2 Julian Reschke 2011-10-05 07:08:18 UTC
I think the request is totally clear (should I explain).

(That doesn't necessarily mean I agree that it should be done over here)
Comment 3 Anne 2011-10-05 07:44:48 UTC
Besides the "refresh" directive most browsers also support a Refresh HTTP header. Since HTML defines the "refresh" directive it might make sense to also define the HTTP header so we only have to define parsing here. (I did not file this bug, but it does make some sense to me.)
