Question about re-directs

    Hope this the right place to ask......
    I'm looking at a web page that has content inserted by a third party.
    The third party content includes links that, when clicked, go through a re-direct and end on a remote landing page. Since the third party content is being fed in from another source, I can't see the URL of the re-direct.
    Is there a way to trace the click and determine the URL of the re-directing page?

    just look at the source code and see where the links are pointing to. they might be encrypted in different encodint - porn sites use this tactic, if they are, find out what encoding it is and decode it.

    Source code doesn't show 3xx redirects, etc.

    Copy the link that is in the 3rd party content. Then go here http://www.rexswain.com/httpview.html and paste it. What you get back is a report of every redirect along the way.
