Ajax call which retrieves a 301 status does not return this in the error callback

[daanoz]

$.ajax({

type: "POST", url: formpost.php, error: function(response, textStatus, errorThrown) {

alert(response.status);

}

});

if formpost.php has a redirect (301 header) on correct formsubmission, the ajax call, calls the error event. This is correct, but the status that is return is "0" instead of "301"

Thanks for the report, but this is not a bug. If status code is zero, that means you are trying to redirect to a location that violates the same-origin policy. XMLHttpRequest will always follow redirects and return the status code of the final page.
