I guess you didn't correctly implement the authentication process. How does your page know that you have authenticated - is there a cookie response or an additional header required? You might want to visualize the correct order of the calls first and then implement it. You should also check into asynchronous calls and then process the response and only send a second call if necessary.
The main issue could be that you are re-using the XHR which has different effects on Windows and Linux.
