[Netsurf-develop] Meta refresh tags

[John W. <li...@pi...>]

I connect my RISC OS network via an IPCop box¹ using dial-up.

The IPCop pages as displayed by NetSurf have continued to be better and
better displayed as layout improvements have been made.

Recently - and it may have coincided with recent work improving the
handling and 'accommodation' of duff meta tags - the IPCop 'base' page,
which has a meta refresh tag of the form:

        <meta http-equiv='refresh' content='30;'>

seems to try and reload a page called

        https://ipcop:445/cgi-bin/;

instead of

        https://ipcop:445/cgi-bin/index.cgi

(isn't this drag&drop of URLs from the bar wonderful!).

I was wondering if the recent 'liberalisation' regarding metatags could
have broken the refresh handling.

If you have a page you visit with a refresh tag, could you try it and
report back before I raise a bug report?
