If you use XMLHttpRequest to make an HTTP request then you can read out
the status and statusText properties:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XMLHttpRequest
XHR handles server-side redirects transparently, so it cannot be used to
detect whether a redirect took place. The value of the status property is
either a success status code (2xx) or an error status code (4xx or 5xx)[1],
never that of a redirect (3xx).
