javascript - Handle an express redirect from Angular POST -

i'm using expressjs api , i'm using angular hit post. respond redirect express sending. success angular post returns html of page intend redirect nothing happens on dom. can see redirect working in network traffic, , console.log data, below contains dom of redirected page.

how can refresh dom, reflect successful post, or handle "redirect"?

angular code:

   $http({method: 'post', url: '/login', data:formdata}).       success(function(data, status, headers, config) {       console.log(data)     }).       error(function(data, status, headers, config) {     });      $scope.username = ''; 

expressjs api:

    app.post('/login', function(req, res){          var name = req.param('name', null);  // second parameter default     var password = req.param('password', "changeme")      // lots authenticationcode     // returns succesfful login     res.redirect('http://localhost:3000/');     }); // end app.post 

console.log(data) (from angular post success)

returns html of page intended redirect 

angularjs meant work client-side framework coupled (mostly) restfull apis. login api isn't supposed return html, supposed return instruction redirect. in case should call $location.url('/') in $http success callback, use angular router "redirect" '/' (the root url).
