Thx for your reply, Simon.

Yes, I tried to use "-dump", but cannot reach my goal.
With -dump, there are two problems:
1, history file is not touched.
2, Can not handle redirection by meta tag and JavaScript.

I try to use a browser, like Elinks, is because I want to find a way can
resolve those redirections by one solution.
And I'm sure Elinks could handle JavaScript better than my script :)
