WebRequest follows redirects without user intervention, so if the redirects are using 301/302 status codes then the following will work
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(destination);
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
Console.WriteLine(response.ResponseUri);
If the redirects are created using javascript or HTTP-Equiv meta tags then you're doing to have to parse the page and look for those. The HTML agility pack is probably the best way to do this.
To take this a little further the following is a class which will manually resolve the main HTTP redirect status codes, building up a history as it goes
/// <summary>
/// Digs through HTTP redirects until a non-redirected URL is found.
/// </summary>
public class Digger
{
/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="Digger"/> class.
/// </summary>
public Digger() : this(20)
{
}
/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="Digger"/> class.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="maximumDepth">The maximum depth of redirects to parse.</param>
public Digger(int maximumDepth)
{
this.MaximumDepth = maximumDepth;
}
/// <summary>
/// Gets the maximum depth of redirects to parse.
/// </summary>
/// <value>The maximum depth of redirects to parse.</value>
public int MaximumDepth
{
get;
private set;
}
/// <summary>
/// Resolves any redirects at the specified URI.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="destination">The initial URI.</param>
/// <returns>The URI after resolving any HTTP redirects.</returns>

{
List<Uri> redirectHistory = new List<Uri>();
return this.Resolve(destination, redirectHistory);

{
redirectHistory.Add(destination);

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(destination);
request.AllowAutoRedirect = false;
request.Method = "HEAD";
