Overview
In ObservePoint, tags do not have separate “initial” and “final” status codes. This is because each network request observed during a scan is evaluated as a distinct event.
How Redirects Are Handled
Every network request made by a page is treated independently. This includes redirects.
Each redirect is its own unique request
Each request can be identified as a tag if it matches a tag pattern
If a tag request redirects and both the original request and the redirected request match a tag pattern, ObservePoint reports them as two separate tags.
What This Means for Status Codes
Because each request is evaluated on its own:
Status codes apply only to the specific request that generated them
There is no single request that progresses from an “initial” to a “final” state
As a result, tags and network requests do not have “initial” or “final” URLs or status codes — each request has its own status code based on its individual response.
