Will redirecting before an Ajax call returns cause issues?

Question

I have an ajax call where a redirect happens after the call returns (inside the success handler):

$.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "/LoadSomeData",
        dataType: "json",
        success: function (response) {  
            location.href = "http://mysite.com";                
        }
    });

If I do a redirect before the call returns, will the ajax call get cancelled? For example:

 $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "/LoadSomeData",
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (response) {  
                location.href = "http://mysite.com";                
            }
        });
 location.href = "http://mysite.com";    

I have a situation where I don't really care to wait till all my data is loaded, and I'd like to redirect immediately. Question is will redirecting (possibly before the loading has completed) disrupt the loading process?

Thanks...

Answer 1

If you redirect outside ajax callbacks, the callbacks will be destroyed and you will redirect immediately. This should have no impact on loading process of the redirected address.
