Follow Redirects Field

The **Follow Redirects field **allows you to specify whether we should follow web server redirects or whether we should consider them to be errors. A web page redirect is a command sent by the server to the web browser to tell it not to display the current page but to instead load a different page.

We recommend that you leave Follow Redirects set to "False," unless you expect your server to redirect users on a regular basis.

If you set Follow Redirects to "False," and your server sends a redirect command, we will consider it to be an error and alert you. If you set Follow Redirects to "True," and the server sends a redirect command, we will perform the test on the redirected page and not the page that you specified in the Test Scenario.

Note: We only acknowledge server redirect commands in the way described above. Sometimes web developers use Javascript-based redirects. We completely ignore javascript-based redirect. We neither follow them, nor do we alert you if they are on your page.
