Page A has a meta refresh to redirect to another page, C, after a certain amount of time (time T).
From page A a link is clicked that takes a long time to load, longer than time T, and would eventually load another page; B.
Will the meta refresh on page A cause the page to be re-directed to C, or will the processing of the link override the meta refresh, eventually loading page B?
If you click a link to page B before page A redirects to C, you will get page B. If you open the link to page B in a new tab, then you’ll get page C in the first tab (after the redirect), and page B in the second tab (the loading of page B will of course not wait for the redirect of A -> C).
