> The standby RM's webui tries to do a redirect via meta-refresh. That is fine for pages designed to be viewed by web browsers. But the API endpoints shouldn't do that. Most programmatic HTTP clients do not do meta-refresh. I'd suggest HTTP 303, or return a well-defined error message (json or xml) stating that the standby status and a link to the active RM.
