Filtercontext.result new redirectresult error ajaxunauthorized not redirecting
A frustrating issue!
When you're using FilterContext.Result
to return a RedirectResult
in an ASP.NET Core MVC action, and you're getting an AjaxUnauthorized
error, it's likely because the browser is trying to make an AJAX request to the redirect URL instead of following the redirect.
Here are a few possible solutions to help you resolve this issue:
- Use
Redirect
instead ofRedirectResult
: Try using theRedirect
method instead ofRedirectResult
. This method will automatically set theLocation
header and return a302
status code, which should trigger a redirect in the browser.return Redirect("/Your/Redirect/Url");
- Set the
StatusCode
property: Make sure to set theStatusCode
property of theRedirectResult
to302
(orFound
).return new RedirectResult("/Your/Redirect/Url", 302);
- Use
Response.Redirect
: You can also use theResponse.Redirect
method to redirect the request.return new EmptyResult(); Response.Redirect("/Your/Redirect/Url");
- Check your AJAX request: If you're making an AJAX request to the action, make sure to set the
X-Requested-With
header toXMLHttpRequest
orfalse
to indicate that it's an AJAX request. This can help the server return a redirect response that the browser will follow.$.ajax({ url: '/Your/Action', headers: { 'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest' } });
- Check your browser settings: Some browsers may have settings that prevent them from following redirects. Try checking your browser settings to see if there are any settings that could be preventing the redirect from working.
If none of these solutions work, please provide more details about your code, including the action method, the FilterContext
code, and the AJAX request code, and I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot the issue.
