You could use -dump and redirect the output to /dev/null. But I'm
not sure if this requires a terminal or can be run from a script.

I'm not sure if Elinks' JavaScript support is sophisticated
enough for all kinds of redirection; HTTP and meta tags should
work fine.

Hm, looks like the history file is not touched when using -dump.
Not sure if you can get Elinks to store it.

I think a simpler way would be to use wget/curl (it handles HTTP
redirects) and a little script which searches for meta redirects
and tries to find JavaScript redirects.
