Is there any way to be able to detect in $.ajax whether the response involved a HTTP redirect?
My backend application times out sessions, and if the next request comes in after the session has timed out, it redirects the user to / signup/login. Unfortunately, if this happens when the client issues an ajax request, the login page gets inserted into the middle of my existing page. I googled around for this, and I found the suggestion that I should just check for the text of my login page and abort if it's seen. This will obviously work, but is a bit messy, and I have to wrap $.ajax to avoid duplicating this logic all over my javascript. I just wondered if there's a cleaner way of doing this? Many thanks, Brian.
