index.html preview in Network tab

It would be helpful to provide some kind of indicator in the Network tab that a page was loaded via a meta http-equiv="refresh" element. Otherwise, it's difficult to know.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Download attached files "index.html" and "redirected.html"
2) Open Terminal and run the command /usr/bin/python3 -m http.server'
3) Open the Network tab in the Safari web inspector
4) Enable "Preserve Log"
5) Open http://localhost:8000 in Safari

As can be seen in the "index preview.png" screenshot, the page with the meta http-equiv="refresh" element is no longer accessible after the redirect, so you can't tell how the redirected page was loaded.

On second thought, maybe the issue is that the original document no longer has a preview after the redirect?

Or maybe those are both issues worth addressing.
