Description Oliver B.

If the client receives a redirect request from the server (e.g. as workaround for bug 390711 when a session timeout occurs), the exit confirmation is enabled and the user denies the exit confirmation a javascript errors occurs.

In a situation like this the exit confirmation is unnecessary, because the user cannot continue anyway and it breaks the redirect.

The exit confirmation should be disabled before the redirect.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open multiple tabs for the same application/session
2. In one tab the user presses logout and the http session is invalidated and the user is sent to logout/login page
3. The other tabs will be informed of the logout with the next request (tomcat redirects to login page because of the invalid session cookie)
4. That XHR request fails and the json redirect to the login page is issued (using the sample jsp login page from bug 390711)
5. Before the json redirect is processed the browser exit confirmation triggers
6. If the user denies the browser exit confirmation the javascript error occurs

I think this fix is safe enough to be included in 2.1.1.
