http redirect with cordova, how do I reload the page redirected to by the browser?

I'm using cordova to deploy my server-client app. After submitting a form, the server may redirect the client: 302 redirect and all. In this case, the app tries to load the page from the server instead of its own memory.

I'm looking for a solution to this. To reiterate, I want the app to load the file it's being redirected to from its own file system.

What I have in mind is something like this: I submit all forms using jquery and catch those redirects.

$.ajax({
    url : address,
    type : type, 
    data : values,
    statusCode: {
        302 : redirect_302
    }
})

And then catch the redirect and use

redirect_302 function(response){
    window.location = the url in the response from the server
}

Is that a typical solution? Or are there better/simpler options? Maybe I can issue the redirect in sych a way that cordova will not, by default, try to load the page from the server?

Thanks in advance.

The options are to do what you are doing. Have the server return the proper redirect, unlikely since it is a file or load the file from the server.

The redirect contains a url that the application is told to use by the server so there isn't anything automatic for cordova to do.
