One of the tests I coded up on Dephormation uses a deliberate delay to test the speed of a slow (3 sec) server response. If the response is returned in <3 secs you know that something en route has tried to bluff a reply.
Its a bit rough and ready at present. It depends heavily on client side code (which is always fraught with browser compatibility issues).
Try it
without redirection.
Or the exact same test with a
deliberate redirection.
