I am trying to simulating user login by angular2 Http. let describe situation as bellow.
i have a php application that users can login throw .php url (a form exist with username and password input, user should fill inputs and press submit button) and if login is success, they redirect to .php.
so i create a Http post with a form data that has "username" and "password" within. and set Http header content-type as application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
login works fine and request automatically redirect to .php .
problem is that i need to access first request response header(.php), but the Http response me the second request response header (.php).
is that any way to prevent Http from redirecting? or throw error on status 302 ?

var headers = new Headers({'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'});
var options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });
Http.post(".php",'username=admin&password=123' , options)
    .subscribe(success => {
        // success and return redirected response
        // response of .php
    }, error => {
        // error handler
    }
);

• did you check success.status ? – A.T. Commented Jun 7, 2016 at 5:41
• @A.T. its return 200, status of redirect request – Shayan Commented Jun 7, 2016 at 5:43
• 1 @Shadow Wizard I would not consider this an exact duplicate. This question is specific to Angular 2, so marking this as a duplicate would imply that everyone stumbling upon this question do know that Angular 2's HTTP service uses XMLHttpRequest under the hood. I highly doubt this - otherwise the >1000 viewers of this question could have searched for HXMLHttpRequest directly and would have never landed here. IMO the right answer is that Angular's HTTP service uses XMLHttpRequest (along with a link to the question you marked as duplicate) – emrass Commented Sep 30, 2017 at 11:21

This is not possible because XMLHttpRequest (low level API) does not expose such a method.
