server side redirect mystery

can't figure it out

I'm getting information from a tech support guy from a certain company that the reason their thing doesn't work is because there is a server side redirect.

How do I figure out what's going on here?

There is no obvious SSI type code on the page.

Header Check shows a 200 code.

Lynx shows the page getting redirected...

How could this be happening?

Thanks,

lynx will read meta-refreshes. Is it a meta-refresh?

had to check but there is no refresh command in the header.

a funny detail - I use Firebird and it does not re-direct.

I use IE 6 and it does not re-direct for me - but it does for the techs over on the left coast.

I couldn't believe it when they told me it was doing it - as it doesn't do it here.

Lynx pretty much confirms that "xyzpage1.asp" (the page I am focused on) is being redirected.

I've seen it myself. And I still don't believe it!

Can you post everything between <head> and </head> on the html page itself, plus the header output? Please examplify relevant sections.
