Err.. I don't know - if the redirection is done on 
external domain, you'll have to use filters to accept 
this domain, as in:
+www.foobar.com/*

This can also be some javascript complex code, or a 
protection against offline browsers..

This kind of code is generally handled, but ONLY if 
the syntax is SIMPLE, as in:
document.write('<a href="foo.gif">');
In this case, the foo.gif image will be caught.

But things like:
document.write('<a href="'+a.src+'.gif">');
won't work, because there isn't any real javascript 
engine embedded in the engine (this would be really 
crazy)
