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

Yes, when you request http://api.example.com using Ajax, browser does not redirect. You can get all the response using jQuery like bellow

$.ajax({
    url: "http://api.example.com",
    success: function(data, textStatus, xhr) {
        console.log(xhr.status);
    },
    complete: function(xhr, textStatus) {
        console.log(xhr.status);
    } 
});
