[ON HOLD] handle HTTP 3xx redirect with Location header

[ingoe]

Intercepts a ajax response with HTTP status 3xx and a Location header and issues a new axaj request to the URL provided in the Location header.

This would be useful but different redirects have different semantics, eg what to to with POST data etc

Our apologies for the delayed response, we're just starting to get back into active development here.

This is an interesting concept, and definitely something we can look at, but there are a number of aspects to 3xx redirection that we would want to handle. For example, 304 codes simply mean the resource was not modified, but it does not preclude the addition of a Location header. Additionally, there is some clean up to do in here, for example, you're using $.ajax(), but we should really be using the aliased _ajax() method. In order to consider this change we would need full tests as well.

Please let us know if we can help!
