Some places do an automatic refresh on their contents periodically, using the
meta-refresh tag. This refresh may be to bring new advertisements in, or to
ensure that a news article is kept up-to-date with updates as they come in, or
maybe for updating a live sporting match scorecard (possibly with commentary).
For most users, and in most cases, this is a good thing. However, taking Monash
Uni as an example, students are given a quota on their web downloads; refreshes
of this nature eat up the quota, in a way that the student may not be aware of.
(Additional quota can be purchased.) The user should therefore be able to ask
that the browser not honour meta-refresh requests unless/until specifically
authorised. (HTTP/300 response codes are a separate issue, as they are only
effective when the page is first accessed -- not a period of time, say five
minutes as an example, later.)
