I have bots which access a website. Sometimes, the logic will send them something like this:
<script>
var lcUrl="http://www.mywebsite.com"
window.location=lcUrl
</script>
Normally, in the Hit table, I would see the original hit and the redirected hit, such as defined here with the lcUrl variable. Thus, it is possible to follow the two consecutive hits from the same IP, which happens within milliseconds.

While doing some research on this, I found out that, on specific occasions, I do not see the second hit. As those are bots, I figured out they probably intercepted the redirection, which would explain why I do not see the second hit. Does this make sense?
