Rails spinoffs - Feb 2006 - Ajax status

Hello All. I''m making ajax call to some url but to connect and 
get data from that url first I check session for user which using 
AJAX. If session is expired I redirect Ajax call to other url. 
That url return form to login. There is one problem - I check in 
function onResponse(OriginalRequest) OriginalRequest status and 
status is always 200 - whatever I''m logged or not. So i can''t 
identify from what url i''m getting data. Can someone tell me what 
I''m doing wrong?

return a different status than 200 instead.

I believe a 403 would be appropriate here, however, HTTP status codes are a 
bit confusing to me, so if someone has a better one to use, please speak 
up :)

In my case, I will send a 302, and set the response text to the url
for login.  Then, in javascript if the response is a 302 I can just
generically redirect.

For example, in the controller:

render :text => login_url, :status => 302

In the view, I add a failure directive into the link_to_remove like so:

:failure => ''processFailure(request)''

Here is the processFailure javascript method I use:

function processFailure(request) {
  if (request.status == 302) {
  	window.location = request.responseText;
  } else {
  	alert(''An error has occurred: '' + request.responseText);
  }
}
