Description

The XMLHttpRequest object has the responseURL property, which is very useful to detect redirect and especially where the request got redirected.

jQXHR objects however does not expose this property and since there are no possibility to get the underlying XMLHttpRequest object (unless you override jQuery.ajaxSettings.xhr function), it is not possible for user functions to get the url to which the request was redirected at all.

This feature were already discussed here and here, but the feature were never implemented.
