The WhileController can help here, see: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#While_Controller HTTPSampler start work (0) WhileController (LAST) HTTPSampler pleasewait.jsp (1) Assertion matches REFRESH [end of While] HTTPSampler of redirect location (2) Try this initially with hard-coded URLs for the redirect and refresh, and make sure redirects are not followed at (1), unless you are sure that the redirect URL does not have a refresh as well. In which case I think you can omit the sampler at (2). If the refresh URL varies between runs, you will need to add a Regex Extractor (RE) after sampler (0) - and again after (1) if it varies further! If the Redirect varies, and following it does not work, you'll need to add an RE after sampler 1 and before the Assertion You need to use 2.0.3 for the While Controller to work, as the version in 2.0.2 did not work very well.
