I want to use jQuery to GET a URL and explicitly check if it responded with a 302 redirect, but not follow the redirect.
jQuery’s $.ajax appears to always follow redirects. How can I prevent this, and see the redirect without following it?
There are various questions with titles like “jquery ajax redirect” but they all appear to involve accomplishing some other goal, rather than just directly checking the status that a server gives.
The AJAX request never has the opportunity to NOT follow the redirect (i.e., it must follow the redirect). More information can be found in this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/2573589/965648
