I'm trying to emulate logic of a real browser and handle META redirects properly, but sometimes those redirects are contained in NOSCRIPT tags, and if I don't avoid those cases I can't emulate the javascript logic and access the webapp. I need a way to avoid setting headers found within the NOSCRIPT tags.
