How do I get the HTTP status code with jQuery?

Question

I want to check if a page returns the status code 401. Is this possible?

Here is my try, but it only returns 0.

$.ajax({
    url: \"http://my-ip/tes         


        

Answer 1

$.ajax({
    url: "http://my-ip/test/test.php",
    data: {},
    error: function(xhr, statusText, errorThrown){alert(xhr.status);}
});
