Description
Right now, every call on the buildWithParameters URL will always redirect to the job page on success. If this API is queried through an Ajax call, it should return a JSON output of the current job instead. This can easily be detected based on the Content-Type http header sent by the client.
This is useful for example if one wants to trigger a parametrized build from jQuery, and parse the result. Right now, jQuery will always get back the HTML page of the job, which makes it hard to do any error handling.

I'm a little confused as to how this is supposed to work, it now returns,
http://jenkins/queue/item/####/
By the time I get the URL it always 404s.
How is one supposed to "track how it passes through the queue and eventually gets built/cancelled" from the provided URL?
Also, the 200 -> 201 change should be documented in the change logs.

Bringing this to the parity with ParameterizedJobMixIn.doBuild()
Instead of returning JSON, it returns "201 Created" and responds with the location of the queue item, through which the caller can track how it passes through the queue and eventually gets built/cancelled.
The approach in pull request #750 that relies on
AbstractProject.getQueueItem() is inherently unreliable, because
item can be immediately built before the JSON is rendered, or it might
corresponds to other queued items if the build supports concurrent
builds, etc.
You need to add /api/xml to the queue item URL. That it 404's is probably an oversight as it's never supposed to be accessed interactively?
Still, this can probably be considered Fixed or Won't Fix, depending on how you look at it.
