Replay an AJAX request if the first one failed due to an authentication error
jQuery.ajaxSetup(
statusCode: {
403: function() {
// This calls a backbone view that renders a login window, then
// calls the success function one the user has been authenticated
// The call back simply re-runs $.ajax using the current context object,
// which conveniently is a hash of the original AJAX request params.
