AngularJS: Catch all response status 500

Question

This may seem like a strange request. I was wondering if there is a way using a $http interceptor to catch the first URL that has a response status of 500, then stop all subsequent requests and processes and do something?

Thomas answer is correct, but this solution is currently deprecated. You should do something like this answer.

app.factory('errorInterceptor', function ($q) {

    var preventFurtherRequests = false;

    return {
        request: function (config) {

            if (preventFurtherRequests) {
                return;
            }

            return config || $q.when(config);
        },
        requestError: function(request){
            return $q.reject(request);
        },
        response: function (response) {
            return response || $q.when(response);
        },
        responseError: function (response) {
            if (response && response.status === 401) {
                // log
            }
            if (response && response.status === 500) {
                preventFurtherRequests = true;
            }

            return $q.reject(response);
        }
    };
});

app.config(function ($httpProvider) {
    $httpProvider.interceptors.push('errorInterceptor');    
});
