handling meta refresh with http.Client

[Andrew O'Neill]

Is there a standard way to check for and handle the <meta http-equiv="refresh"... from a custom client call to Post (or any other methods)? My client receives the status 200 code and I believe therefore does not redirect. Since I know the address of the next page I call Get with a const address it should redirect to. I'm new to network programming so maybe it is something easy.

The meta refresh tag is not part of the HTTP protocol, so there is nothing for the client to do.

You need to parse the html and issue a new request.
