I don't see how passing you all the information is "inflexible", on the contrary I would find writing a handler for a code and realizing there was another status code that needs the same handling to be what is really inflexible.
If you have different handing based on different status codes then break up your handlers by what they do into diferent functions and simply write a switch statement that calls the relevant function. I don't see how that isn't flexible as the definition of flexibility in this case is the ability to bend the code to do something slightly different (like have a second status code share the handler of another) with easev(like adding a new case line into a switch). ~Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name] On 7-Sep-09, at 3:24 PM, Nathan Bubna <nbu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Mon, Sep 7, 2009 at 12:08 PM, John Snyders<jjsnyd...@rcn.com> > wrote: >> >> I would like to add my opinion. > ... >> I do not think individual callbacks for each status code are a good >> idea. > > Why? > > Do you not use XHR with services where you need to do different things > depending on which 4xx code (for example) you receive back?
