  • http.js needs to handle http-equiv refresh

    From Nigel Reed@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Fri Sep 26 08:29:07 2025

    I'm trying to pull a webpage and its only contents are

    ```
    <!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=/stories/mlb/2025-mlb-playoff-picture-bracket-heading-final-weekend-season"></head></html>
    ```

    It would be nice if there was an option to follow the refresh URL. It's possible to parse the URL, sure, but having it automatically done would be nice.

    Hrm... http.js doesn't really do HTML, only HTTP... I think a higher level library for HTML is the right place for something like that.
