I'm not trying to be nitpicky but I will..
Is it really "intentional"? I had thought that it was because this was
a Netscape-ism that wasn't a "real" HTML thing.
Well, even if that is the case, would it be easily possible to add
the refresh mechanism optionally? I sure as heck would rather have it
automatically happen.. (I hope this would also work with my Wells Fargo
account which doesn't _show_ a URL, I have to type control-R when it
shows the 'verifying password' screen.)
