Please note that this is specific to my project.

Goal: Catch 302 status code and redirect the page (to login in my case).

Result: In firebug, I could see that the response code is 302 but then I found out that angularjs returns 200 by simply printing the value of status (response.status). So at first you'd thought that you're hopeless. But in my case, what I did was get the data (response.data), look for the string that could be only found in my login page. Then that's it. problem solved :D

The idea was taken here.

Here's the code

app.factory('redirectInterceptor', function($q,$location,$window){
    return  {
        'response':function(response){
        if (typeof response.data === 'string' && response.data.indexOf("My Login Page")>-1) {
            console.log("LOGIN!!");
            console.log(response.data);
            $window.location.href = "/login.html";
            return $q.reject(response);
        }else{
            return response;
        }
        }
    }

    });

    app.config(['$httpProvider',function($httpProvider) {
        $httpProvider.interceptors.push('redirectInterceptor');
    }]);
