How do I get the HTTP status code with jQuery?

Question

I want to check if a page returns the status code 401. Is this possible?

Here is my try, but it only returns 0.

$.ajax({
    url: \"http://my-ip/tes         


        

Answer 1

Use the error callback.

For example:

jQuery.ajax({'url': '/this_is_not_found', data: {}, error: function(xhr, status) {
    alert(xhr.status); }
});

Will alert 404
