Getting 302 redirect error on laravel ajax requests.

I am getting 302 redirect error when use ajax get request in my website.

This is my ajax code :

function load_photos(){
    let albumid = $('input[name=_album_id]').val();
    $.ajax({
        url: BASE_URL+'/photos/get/'+albumid,
headers: {
            'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
        },
        cache: false,
        success: function(res){
            $(".uploaded-images").html(res.data);
        }
    });
}

In my controller at the end i am just return json response

public function get__photos($id){
        $albumid = Crypt::decrypt($id);
        $view['album'] = Photo::where('albumid',$albumid)->get();
        $album = view('upload.partial.photos',$view)->render();
        return response()->json(['status' => true, 'data' => $album]);
    }

On ajax run i get no response in inspect element and get only 302 response

Note: The ajax works perfectly fine when i run https:://www.domain.com But it doesn't work on https:://domain.com.

ON AJAX GET REQUEST I AM GETTING => 302 Found

ON AJAX POST REQUEST I AM GETTING => 419 unknown status

the headers will tell you where you are being redirected to... probably the login route

Check your middleware or any authentication implemented.

Probably is due to the unauthenticated issue.

Snapey's avatar

because your ajax endpoint is wrapped in auth middleware

On the page that is sending the ajax request, have you previously logged in?

depends what you have for session cookie domain and same_site

See config/session.php

This is my session file It is default that comes with laravel 8

Hi @princeparaste, Were you able to figure out what was causing the 302?

Now, out of the blue :) I am getting it too. Here is my post: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/405-method-not-allowed-when-validation-fails

I am getting the 302 only when validation fails, if validation passes everything works as expected.

What's even more puzzling is that it worked earlier, but now, I am not sure since when, it is not working. For me the validation is not working.

I will try to remove middleware and see what happens. I see in this post @snapey points out that it may be a middleware issue. For me it's still a mystery, I get the 302 error only if validation fails.

Any thought / suggestions always much appreciated.

Happy New Year to you guys!
