When I run $.get or .load in jQuery, the request seems to follow 302

  • 0

When I run $.get or .load in jQuery, the request seems to follow 302 redirects perfectly fine and gives me ultimate response, which I can use in the callback for $.get or which plugs into the this element for .load.

While I obviously have the original URL since I am in control of the string that’s entered as the first argument in $.get or .load (it would also be helpful if I could get this directly in the callback to simplify things), how can access the final (after redirect) URL in the callback?

I suspect that it would be in the XMLHttpRequest object, for which I have found the specification.

    I’m not sure (and Googling hasn’t gotten me anywhere), but what about this unorthodox solution?

    var hiddenIframe = $(”).attr({ style: ‘display: none;’ }).appendTo(‘body’);

    hiddenIframe.attr({ src: ‘http://www.direct-me.com’ });

    hiddenIframe.load(function() {

    alert(hiddenIframe.attr(‘src’));

    });

    Basically it just makes a hidden iframe, and then goes to your URL, and the callback for load *should* tell you the final URL.

    It appears you cannot. You can get the original src, but then you cannot due to security issues.
