What this challenge teaches

Teaches: meta-refresh is a CLIENT-side redirect; servers return 200, the browser follows after delay.

Expected output: Parse meta http-equiv="refresh" content="N; URL=..." and follow it.

Submit your scraper's JSON output to /challenges/static/redirects/meta-refresh/grade (grader endpoint is part of a later phase; URL is reserved now).

# Python regex extracting the URL out of the original page:
re.search(r'meta\s+http-equiv="refresh"\s+content="\d+;\s*URL=([^"]+)"', html).group(1)
