I remember the HTTP "Refresh" header from the old Netscape FishCam, from the early days of the Web.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Refresh

Although did it use the HTTP "Refresh" header of the <meta http-equiv="refresh"/> version of it.

Apparently, the "Refresh" header never made it into any specification. But is a standard none-the-less (since it is commonly implemented).

Refresh - HTTP | MDN

The HTTP Refresh response header directs a web browser to either refresh or redirect the page when a specified amount of time has passed after the page was fully loaded. It is exactly equivalent to using <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="..."> in HTML.
