Description

I'm experiencing an issue when the server returns 401 status code after the client made an ajax call via a Angularjs $resource. The issue is that after receiving the 401 code the controller is re-entered multiple times, having to quit the application. Interestingly the app behaves normal if the server returns a 403 status code.

angular.module('AngularApp')
.controller('DashboardCtrl',
['$rootScope', '$scope', 'PersonalOverviewResource', function($rootScope, $scope, PersonalOverviewResource) {
console.log("in dashboard CTRL");
PersonalOverviewResource.getData({}, function(result, getResponseHeaders)

{ console.log("received a result from backend"); }

,function(response)

{ console.log("error; code: " + response.status + ";"); }

);
}]);

angular.module('AngularClientSideAuth')
.factory('PersonalOverviewResource', function($rootScope, $resource) {
return $resource($rootScope.backend_domain.concat("api/overview/user"), {},{
getData:

{method:'GET', isArray: false}

});
});

In addition I want to provide this SOF question, as the problem seems to be the same ( app crashes when server returns 401)
