How to redirect from an xhr request

When I send an xhr post request to my server. It replies with a 302 redirect, but I can only log the entire redirect html, and cannot get the browser to redirect to the new url.

server.js

const Hapi = require('hapi');
const Inert = require('inert');

const server = new Hapi.Server();
const port = 8888;

server.connection({ port });

server.register([ Inert ], () => {
  server.route([
    {
      method: 'get',
      path: '/',
      handler: (request, reply) => {
        reply.file('index.html');
      }
    },
    {
      method: 'get',
      path: '/login',
      handler: (request, reply) => {
        reply.file('login.html');
      }
    },
    {
      method: 'post',
      path: '/login',
      handler: (request, reply) => {
        reply.redirect('/');
      }
    }
  ]);

  server.start(() => {
    console.log('Server running on ', server.info.uri);
  });
});

index.html

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <body>
    <h1> Home </h1>
    <a href="/login"> go to login </a>
  </body>
</html>

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <body>
    <button id="home">home</button>
    <script>
      function goHome () {
        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
        xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
          if(xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status === 200) {
            console.log('Response: ', xhr.response);
          }
        }
        xhr.open('post', '/login');
        xhr.send();
      }
      document.getElementById('home').addEventListener('click', goHome);
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Is there a way to redirect to '/' without doing it client side?

Thanks in advance for the help

No.

A request initiated by XMLHttpRequest will get a response that will be processed by XMLHttpRequest. If that response is a redirect, it will be followed and the response to the new request will be handled by XMLHttpRequest.

Ajax is the act of making an HTTP request from JS without leaving the page.

If you want to leave the page, don't use Ajax.
