I know that you can't, when using an XMLHttpRequest, intercept a redirect or prevent it, as the browser will transparently follow it, but is it possible to either
A. Determine whether a request redirected, or
B. Determine where it redirected to? (assuming that the response gives no hints)
Example code:
$.post(/my-url-that-redirects/, {},
function(response, statusCode, xmlHttpRequest){
//Somehow grab the location it redirected to
}
);
In my case, firebug will first show a POST to the url, then a GET to the redirected url. Can that GET location be captured?
