rails redirect_to html format doesn't work

this action doesn't work:

redirect_to request.referer, :format => "html", :alert => exception.message

When it's redirecting from a controller action in js format, the redirect is in js as well instead of being in html format.

Any clue why? Thx!

PS: I tried :format => :html as well

EDIT FOR COMPLETENESS

The redirect occurs after a cancan autorization via this application_controller method

   if request.referer
      logger.debug "Rescueing Cancan"
      redirect_to request.referer, :format => :html, :alert => exception.message
    else
      redirect_to root_path, :alert => exception.message, :format => :html
    end
  end

This is my log:

Try using :back as in

redirect_to :back, alert: exception.message

From the docs on redirect_to:

:back - Back to the page that issued the request. Useful for forms that are triggered from multiple places. Short-hand for redirect_to(request.env["HTTP_REFERER"])
