Not to beat a dead horse... but I was surprised this is a non-standard header so for anyone interested here are my "of interest" links. As Odi mentions Netscape introduced the header (the meta tag is the html equivalent to the (non-standard) http header.)
Early draft refers to the Refresh header but marks it "TBS" http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.1/spec.html#Refresh Later an issue from the working group says the follow: was not in the 1.1 spec, "due to unexplored security implications" Post from a 2000 w3c list. Good information for anyone implementing the behavior expected and wanting to know why 3xx doesn't cover what's done in the Refresh: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2000JanMar/0412.html The Netscape "vision" for the header. http://wp.netscape.com/assist/net_sites/pushpull.html JavaBoutique article showing usage. http://javaboutique.internet.com/tutorials/JSP/part08/page02.html mentions non-standard header, but that NS and IE support it. > > [trunc] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
