Symptoms

If the backend HTTP server replies with a 'Refresh' header to a request for an image or other non-text object, APM does not send this reply to the client.

Impact

If a web application uses automatic refreshing of some non-text objects (images or any other binary objects), the refresh might not work correctly.

Conditions

This occurs with a response containing binary content that encounters an HTTP Refresh header.

Workaround

There is no workaround.

Fix Information
