Is there any way to know if the jqXHR object returned was redirected from another request? For example, having the following code:
jQuery.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'http://example.com/page.html',
complete: function(response, status) {
console.log(response.statusCode);
// do something
}
});
If the ajax url is redirected with a 301 or 302 status code, the response will be the result of the redirected page and will return a 200 (OK) status code. I think this is a jQuery's bug (don't really know if this is the intended beheavior, since the ultimate response was actually succesful)
I can't either get the original response Headers to check if there exists a Location Header, since this is only available on redirected requests.
Firebug with the above code logs these two requests through XHR
But jQuery only return data from the second request.
Maybe there is a way to get data from the first request? Or to get the response url and compare it with the one from the original request?
