Description:
------------
Would it be possible to add redirect support when the
redirect is via:
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="5;<URL>">

and the content-type header is "text/html".

I have already implemented part of this and would be willing
to submit a patch.

Well, patch is here:

The file at
http://pricepages.org/pear/Client.metaTag.diff.zip

has been updated with a new patch that should be smarter
about such things.

The 60 second redirect, though, is arbitrary. I figure that
60 seconds is enough time for someone to actually get some
meaningful information off of a page, so therefore the
redirect after that time may be counter-intuitive.

Feel free to change it if you want.
