follow redirects,
so they are not seen by JMeter, and thus will not appear as

In versions after 2.2, this is now the default.

+<b>N.B.</b> when using automatic redirection, cookies are only sent for the
initial URL.
+This can cause unexpected behaviour for web-sites that redirect to a local
server.
+E.g. if www.example.com redirects to www.example.co.uk.
+In this case the server will probably return cookies for both URLs, but JMeter
will only see the cookies for the last
+host, i.e. www.example.co.uk. If the next request uses www.example.com,
+rather than www.example.co.uk, it will not get the correct cookies.
+This is generally only a problem for manually created test plans,
+as a test plan created using a recorder would continue from the redirected URL.

"text/html" were scanned for
embedded resources. Other content-types were assumed to be something other
than HTML.
JMeter 2.1.2 introduces the a new property <b>HTTPResponse.parsers</b>, which
is a list of parser ids,
