With using HtmlAgilityPack and c# 4.0 how can you determine whether page is being redirected or not. I am using this method to load page.
HtmlDocument hdMyDoc = hwWeb.Load(srPageUrl);
And example redirection result i suppose
Returned inner html
<meta http-equıv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.pratikev.com/fractalv33/pratikEv/pages/home.jsp">
c# 4.0
Accepted Answer
For this case, parse the HTML is the best way.
var page = "...";
var doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.Load(page);
var root = doc.DocumentNode;
var select = root.SelectNodes("//meta[contains(@content, 'URL')]");
try
{
Console.WriteLine("has redirect..");
Console.WriteLine(select[0].Attributes["content"].Value.Split('=')[1]);
}
catch
{
Console.WriteLine("have not redirect using HTML");
}

Assuming the document is relatively well-formed, I suppose you could do something like this:
static string GetMetaRefreshUrl(string sourceUrl)
{
var web = new HtmlWeb();
var doc = web.Load(sourceUrl);
var xpath = "//meta[@http-equiv='refresh' and contains(@content, 'URL')]";
var refresh = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode(xpath);
if (refresh == null)
return null;
var content = refresh.Attributes["content"].Value;
return Regex.Match(content, @"\s*URL\s*=\s*([^ ;]+)").Groups[1].Value.Trim();
}
