Simply trying it would have showed you.

If there is a webserver on the other end, and behaves like you described, 
and if you use the term “redirect” correctly, it will send a(n) (HTTP) 
response.

First get rid of some misconceptions: ajax, page, original page.  Perhaps 
you also have a misconception about what a “redirect” is.  Then read:

<https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/AJAX> pp.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP> pp.

While you do it, be aware that those are wikis.
