Abstract
System, method and program product determine whether a first web page returned to a web browser is a redirected web page. A dummy URL is created by appending one or more characters to a URL of the first web page. The one or more characters are chosen such that the dummy URL is likely to elicit a redirected web page. The request for the dummy URL is sent. A second web page is received in response to the request. The content of the second web page is compared to content of the first web page to determine if the first web page is a redirected web page. If the content of the second web page matches the content of the first web page, a record is made indicating that the first web page is a redirected web page.
