Zusammenfassung:	System, method and program product for determining if a first web page returned to a web browser is a redirected web page. A dummy URL is created by appending one or more characters to a URL of the first web page. The one or more characters are chosen such that the dummy URL is likely to elicit a redirected web page. The request for the dummy URL is sent. A second web page is received in response to the request. The second web page is a redirected web page. The content of the second web page is compared to content of the first web page to determine if the first web page is a redirected web page. The request for the dummy URL is sent to a same application that returned the second web page. If the content of the second web page matches the content of the first web page, a record is made that the first web page is a redirected web page, and if the content of the second web page does not match the content of the first web page, a record is made that the first web page was not determined to be a redirected web page. Also, the content of the first web page is scanned for a text phrase indicative of a redirected web page. The text phrase can include "page not found" or the like.
