Hi, I was trying a similar thing(requesting local file through ajax) using jquery and it was not working. Turns out, the status of the response always says error, even when response.responseText is OK. Why is this? I just commented and "if" clause checking for status == "success" to make it work, but doesn't feel good, although is OK for now.
