Does anyone know of a program that can "detect" if a site is using a 301/302 redirect? Any input is appreciated! Thanks!
If you need to check the exact URL, you can use Site Information Tool. It shows all response headers received (including redirects, if any) and much more information.
You can use curl, wget or lynx to get HTTP headers the server is responding to a particular URL. Very easy to automate as well... (wget works perfectly fine under Windows as well).
