Ok - currently, "unplugging your internet" is not the same thing as
"timing out". Ironically (?) the browser behaves differently when you
unplug the internet, sometimes throwing exceptions instead of just
failing.
As far as the example, you are correct, it is "error", not timeout -
my mistake. I guess a better example would be to request a page that
take a long time to load, for example:
$.ajax({
url: "sleepy.cgi",
error: ....
});
sleepy.cgi:
#!/usr/bin/perl
sleep(15);
print "Content-type:text/html\n\ndone";
I'm working on adding in the "unplug the internet, have it fail
gracefully" functionality. Hopefully it'll be in by 1.1.
