You must redirect user in client side: windows.location.href='/login' — MBN, Apr 12 '16 at 10:48
@MBN I see that I have received the data and redirect? Why can not get the status of 401? — name, Apr 12 '16 at 10:53

You must redirect user in client side. Try this:

$http.get('/api/users?id='+userID).error(function(data, status){

    if(status==401){
        window.location.href='/login';
    }

});

Server side:

res.status(401).send({ hasError: true });

You have a rest api and you can't redirect directly on server side – MBN Apr 12 '16 at 11:01

Your $http.get is waiting for a response which in your case is just the login page, and not a redirect instruction. Therefore you need to respond with a status code, then redirect on the client side.

$http.get('/api/users?id='+userID).error(function(data, status){

    if(status==401){
        $window.location.href='/login';
    }

});

On the server side, if they're not authorized, just send a status code.

res.status(401).end();
