Abstract

A redirection object may be obtained, based on a current request of a current requestor. The redirection object request may be associated with a response to a previous request for a redirection to a destination network location, the previous request associated with a previous requestor. A current transmission origination location associated with a current requestor transmission of the current request may be determined. It may be determined whether the current transmission origination location includes a similarity to a previous transmission origination location associated with a previous transmission of the previous request, based on identification information included in the redirection object. It may be determined whether to initiate a redirect operation of the current requestor to the destination network location, based on a result of the determining of the similarity between the current transmission origination location and the previous transmission origination location.
