Return 401 Error Code To Browser With Forms Authentication

[Guest]

I'm trying to return a 401 statuscode to the client browser on my web site,
however whenever I do this I get a 302 statuscode redirecting me to my login
page. Any ideas on how to prevent the redirect?? Thanks

The FormsAuthentication module check for a 401 and then does this redirect.
You'd need to look into building your own module that somehow cancels the
FormsAuth redirect. The other thing I do is on my login page I write some
extra code to see if Request.IsAuthenticated == true. If this is the case,
I throw up a message that says "You're already logged in, but you tried to
access a resource that you're not allowed to. Please provide credentials
that will allow you access to that page."
