jQuery Forum

It appears jQuery.ajax automatically performs a GET when receiving a 303 response with a Location header:

1. jQuery.ajax({
2.     url: "/login", // returns 303 with Location: /home
   
3.     type: "POST",
4.     data: {
5.         username: "foo",
6.         password: "bar"
7.     },
8.     success: function() { console.log("foo", this, arguments); },
9.     error: function() { console.log("bar", this, arguments); },
10.     complete: function() { console.log("baz", this, arguments); }
11. });

This will result in a GET to /home after the POST, before any callbacks are processed.
How can I suppress this automatic 303 handling?
(using jQuery v1.4.2 on Firefox)

Thanks!


Update: It appears this is not directly related to jQuery, but rather the underlying XHR. There might still be a way to control this though... !?
