Browser Redirection and Ajax

[Mark Reyes]

Hi,

I am new to ajax and I am not sure of what I am observing but hopefully somebody could give me light on this.

I notice that when I return a 302 HTTP response from a call with Jquery $.ajax() or $.json(), the browser is handling the redirection itself and I cannot get the xhr.status of 302 but always 200.

Is what i notice correct and is there any workaroubd for this? I see on my firebug the 302 response code but it is handing me a status of 200 and not the 302.

Why would you be sending a redirect as a result of an Ajax request?

[Mark Reyes]

well, i configured a servlet filter that intercepts all url request if there is session associated with it. If not, they are redirected to the login page. For non-xmlhttprequest, this works fine. But when I issue an ajax request, i cannot get hold of the 302 http response. The browser is handling it for me, and what i get is an xhr status of 200. Is my observation, correct?

Check if its an XHR request before sending back the response code?
