I have a proxy site that loads extrenal sites into an iframe. I'm worried that some sites will try to redirect from the iframe when it detects it. it's really?
No, the redirect reloads the iframe, not the whole page, if that was your question :)
Yes , websites can detect what they are in iframe and some change parent to javascript accordingly. However, a simple HTTP redirect will reload the iframe as Crimson said.
