    <p>I have a table in my database which contains the URLs of some websites. I have to open those URLs and verify some links on those pages. The problem is that some URLs get redirected to other URLs. My logic is failing for such URLs.</p> <p>Is there some way through which I can pass my original URL string and get the redirected URL back?</p> <p>Example: I am trying with this URL: <a href="http://individual.troweprice.com/public/Retail/xStaticFiles/FormsAndLiterature/CollegeSavings/trp529Disclosure.pdf" rel="noreferrer">http://individual.troweprice.com/public/Retail/xStaticFiles/FormsAndLiterature/CollegeSavings/trp529Disclosure.pdf</a></p> <p>It gets redirected to this one: <a href="http://individual.troweprice.com/staticFiles/Retail/Shared/PDFs/trp529Disclosure.pdf" rel="noreferrer">http://individual.troweprice.com/staticFiles/Retail/Shared/PDFs/trp529Disclosure.pdf</a></p> <p>I tried to use following code:</p> <pre><code>HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(Uris); req.Proxy = proxy; req.Method = "HEAD"; req.AllowAutoRedirect = false; HttpWebResponse myResp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse(); if (myResp.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Redirect) { MessageBox.Show("redirected to:" + myResp.GetResponseHeader("Location")); } </code></pre> <p>When I execute the code above it gives me <code>HttpStatusCodeOk</code>. I am surprised why it is not considering it a redirection. If I open the link in Internet Explorer then it will redirect to another URL and open the PDF file.</p> <p>Can someone help me understand why it is not working properly for the example URL?</p> <p>By the way, I checked with Hotmail's URL (<a href="http://www.hotmail.com" rel="noreferrer">http://www.hotmail.com</a>) and it correctly returns the redirected URL.</p> <p>Thanks,</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
