This happens because the browser handles the redirect without the
javascript ever seeing it. The way I handle it is that if the request
is an ajax one and they are no longer logged in then I set a header
instead of redirecting. The client side code. In my app all ajax
requests are made by javascript object that derive from a common base
class and which basically have a callback chain of onCompletes one of
which checks this, so I don't need to repeat this for every ajax
request. You can probably also do it with an Ajax.Responder
