When I load https://delisle.mit.edu/geoweb/testload.html

[14:49:28.381] GET https://delisle.mit.edu/secure/new.js [HTTP/1.1 302
Found 31ms]
but Shibboleth does not intercept the load, and the loaded file does not
execute. If I move new.js to some other directory and point to it, it
works fine.
Should this work, or does Shibboleth not support this for some reason?
Does anybody have a suggestion for a better way to accomplish a
Shibboleth authentication cycle from within Javascript?

should work... what happens if you point your browser directly at

https://delisle.mit.edu/secure/new.js

is that doesn't trigger Shib... then perhaps Shib hasn't been properly configured to protect that directory ?
