Chained redirects do not function automatically. The first redirect will execute, but the process stops after one step. The next page, containing another redirect, is shown as a link. The user must click on the link to follow the chain. So, each redirect should be constructed to point directly to the proper ultimate page. | Chained redirects do not function automatically.
