Is it possible to get page redirect information via Ajax?

Question

Without ajax, if we load http://example.com/1 and if it redirects to http://example.com/2 then the browser gets appropriate headers and the Browser URL

Answer 1

not sure if I understood it, but just tried something, if it is not what you're looking for please notify me to delete the answer.

here we inject this /#/ in the URL so when clicking on links the browser will have a new segment in the URL which represent the parameter that depending on its value you can determine which page to load using the corresponding AJAX call..

JS/jQuery:

var navLinks = $('#nav a'),
    params = [],
    baseURL = '//localhost/test/js-url-parameters-second';

navLinks.each(function(){
    var oldHREF = $(this).attr('href');
    $(this).attr('href', baseURL +'/#/'+ oldHREF);
});

navLinks.on('click', function(){
    checkURL($(this).attr('href'));
});

function checkURL(docURL){
    // if /#/ found then we have URL parameters
    // grabbing the parameters part of the URL
    if(docURL.indexOf('/#/') > -1){
        docURL = docURL.split('/#/')[1];
        if(docURL != ''){
            // omit the last forward slash if exists
            if(docURL[docURL.length - 1] == '/'){
                docURL = docURL.substring(0, docURL.length - 1);
            }
            console.log(docURL);
            $('#page-type').text(docURL);
        }
    } else {
        console.log('No URL parameters found');
    }
}
