How do you check or crawl site (couple of urls) to explore existing meta refresh redirects?
Screaming Frog doesn't handle them - it indicates a page with meta refresh as 200 (it is partly true), even if meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0

An ordinary HTML page that contains a meta refresh element will indeed return a 200 OK HTTP status (this is totally correct). How that HTML response, with a meta refresh tag, is processed by the user-agent/bot is another matter.
However, Screaming Frog SEO Spider does report on pages that contain a meta refresh HTML element - the pages are scanned for several meta elements. In the "Internal" tab, there is a column for "Meta Refresh 1" which can be sorted.
