在node.js中返回response.sendRedirect返回JSON并且不呈现页面

Question

I am using response.redirect in my node.js application using express 4 and the redirect code is returning the 302 redirection response in JSON but not rendering the page

Here is my simple redirection code

app.post('/signup', function (req, res) {
    console.log("Got signup request");
    return res.redirect('/login');
});

I tried res.render as well still no luck.

The funny part is, I do get a request on my login module, but how do I render the page? The only option I can think of right now is to read the JSON response in the UI and then redirect it to Login page. But this will:

1. Hit two requests to the target page (right now it is login, but imagine if it is some other major page)
2. Expose the logic of redirection, which is a bad idea
3. Cannot transfer the data from one page to the other (I do not want to use localStorage or sessionStorage here)

Your kind help will be much appreciated Thanks in advance.

EDIT: 1 Login route

app.get('/login', function (req, res) {
    console.log("Got a login request");
    res.sendFile(GLOBAL.basePath+'/resources/login.html');
});

Alright! Express cannot do a redirection from an ajax call. The redirection logic then has be taken care from the ajax success response.

res.redirect from POST

Express js - can't redirect
