I am still running into one issue.
I changed the below function to capture the url and use an xmlhttp post to
write the bad feed to a file with a servlet.
See comments at very end of this function.
Timeline.XmlHttp._onReadyStateChange = function(xmlhttp, fError, fDone, Url)
{
switch (xmlhttp.readyState) {
// 1: Request not yet made
// 2: Contact established with server but nothing downloaded yet
// 3: Called multiple while downloading in progress
// Download complete
case 4:
try {
if (xmlhttp.status == 0 // file:// urls, works on Firefox
|| xmlhttp.status == 200 // http:// urls
) {
if (fDone) {
fDone(xmlhttp);
}
} else {
if (fError) {
fError(
xmlhttp.statusText,
xmlhttp.status,
xmlhttp
);
}
}
} catch (e) {
var _url = Url.substring(Url.indexOf("url=") + 4);
alert(url);//THIS WORKS FINE
//CODE BELOW LOOPS FOREVER(WRITES TO A FILE, BUT LOOPS
INFINITELY)
Timeline.XmlHttp.post("
http://websvr:8080/timeline/WriteBadFeedToFileServlet";, _url, fError,
fDone);
//OBVIOUSLY NEVER REACHES THE CODE BELOW.
Timeline.Debug.exception(_url);
}
break;
}
};
Perhaps I am calling this in the wrong function?
Thanks.

Nevermind,
I figured it out.
I overrode the callback and just added an extra variable called Url.
Thanks.
