How to get read data from response header in jquery/javascript
httpresponse, javascript, jquery, response-headers
Solution
Both `XMLHttpRequest` and `jqXHR` (which is the object jQuery wraps around AJAX requests) have a `getResponseHeader()` method, so in the `always()` handler (jQuery) or readyState handler (`XMLHttpRequest`), do `this.getResponseHeader('Location')`.
Bear in mind that if your server also sends a redirect status code (301/ 302) that redirect will be automatically followed, and there's no way to access the intermediate-headers returned.
