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.

Research direction

Start by locating the HTML::Parser handling for META redirects and NOSCRIPT content, then inspect any existing parser tests. Define an option that prevents headers found inside NOSCRIPT tags from being set, and add a regression test demonstrating the opt-out behavior.
