i am with Sandy ... but i think you are not sending your Logging
Request to a zerobyte file but to the logging Script? So it is up to
you / the script what or even IF there is a return or just a status
header like (in PHP)
<?php
header('HTTP/1.1 204 No Content');
exit(0);
?>
Playing russian roulette with the http connection status from within
your XHR Request is by far the last way to focus on ...
