When I do an XMLHttpRequest, I always get redirected automatically to the URL (presumably by the headers of the response). For example, if I query "http://www.stackoverflow.com" I will be redirected to "http://stackoverflow.com".

How can I get that final URL? (http://stackoverflow.com/ in the example)

I checked in the response headers but I cannot seem to find it. (I just used the GET/POST method not HEAD).
