res.redirect from POST
You can't make a redirection after an AJAX. You need to do it yourself in Javascript.
server
post: function(req, res) { var login = req.body['login']; app.use(express.bodyParser()); if (login && req.body['login']['password'] == "tom") { var loginPassword = req.body['login']['password']; console.log(loginPassword); console.log('Granted access'); res.send({redirect: '/blog'}); } ...}
client
$(document).ready -> $('#login-button').click () -> $.ajax url: '/login' type: 'POST' data: $('#Password').serialize() dataType: 'json' success: (data, textStatus, jqXHR) -> if typeof data.redirect == 'string' window.location = data.redirect
This should work.
POSTs are redirected to GETs. You can't redirect to a POST to a POST; you could forward it but that would be weird. I recommend adding logic to your GET route that will handle a logged in versus not logged in user.
Also, 304 likely means your response is being cached by your browser because you used a 301 (permanent redirect, very bad on login, etc.; use 302).
