Input

The Actor accepts exactly two required string fields:

source_url: the absolute public HTTP(S) URL where traversal starts.
expected_target_url: the absolute public HTTP(S) URL expected after traversal.

{
  "source_url": "https://example.com/",
  "expected_target_url": "https://example.com/"
}

Result

Each dataset item contains:

verdict
reason_code
source_url
expected_target_url
final_url
final_status
redirect_count
redirect_chain

{
  "verdict": "PASS",
  "reason_code": "TARGET_MATCH",
  "source_url": "https://example.com/",
  "expected_target_url": "https://example.com/",
  "final_url": "https://example.com/",
  "final_status": 200,
  "redirect_count": 0,
  "redirect_chain": [
    {
      "url": "https://example.com/",
      "status": 200,
      "location": null
    }
  ]
}

PASS: the normalized final URL matches the expected target and the final status is 2xx.
WARN: the normalized final URL matches, but the final status is 4xx or 5xx.
FAIL: the target differs or input, safety, redirect, DNS, timeout, TLS, or HTTP transport validation fails.

Target comparison lowercases and IDNA-normalizes the hostname, removes default HTTP(S) ports, treats an empty path as /, and ignores fragments. Path case, trailing slashes, query content, and query ordering remain significant.

Boundaries

Only public HTTP(S) destinations are allowed. The Actor validates each destination before contact, rejects private and otherwise non-public addresses, detects redirect loops, and limits redirect traversal.

It does not provide browser rendering, authentication, cookies, private-destination access, crawling, monitoring, or AI analysis.

The pay-per-event name is redirect-verification; pricing is configured separately by the operator. Publication requires Limited permissions only.
