Not all implementations of XMLHttpRequest follow redirects
automatically, but XMLHttpRequest most definitely *can* receive
this header just fine. You can check the `status` property to see
if the response was a redirect, and use the `getResponseHeader`
method to read the `Location` header. The question is whether
your AJAX JS framework does that by itself; apparently not.

That is even less likely to work.

You missed the point entirely, I’m afraid.
