If it's an XHR request, there will be no navigation, and you will stay
on the original page. The server can redirect to another location, but
most XHR implementations just transparently follow the redirect and use
whatever the redirect target sends as responseText/responseXml. (There
may be some restrictions to that, especially if the redirect target is
not from the same origin. I have never tested that.)

If you do want to navigate away from the original page, don't let the
server do the redirect. Let the server return the new location to your
script (in whatever format you usually use to communicate with the
server), and the script then sets location.href.
