Understanding HTTP status and redirects
HTTP Test requests a public HTTP or HTTPS URL, records the response status and follows a limited redirect chain. This is useful for checking whether a page responds, where a redirect points and how long each step takes from the OCS Ping server.
The checker is intentionally limited to public destinations and validates redirect targets as part of the safety rules for public destinations. A successful HTTP response does not guarantee that every page feature or client-side script is working correctly.
