Ken,
Thanks for the update.
Regarding the file protocol issue, that's easy:
window.location.protocol is all you need as per SOP.
Just discussed the other points with Andrew.
To summarize:
- file protocol should always return success.
- previously mentioned non-standard status codes for IE should always
return a status code of 0.
- status code of 0 should trigger an onFailure callback (except
obviously for the file protocol).
- status code of 0 should trigger an on0 callback.
- as the specs don't yet specify that an exception should be raised in
case of a network error, we won't implement that for the moment. So a
status code of 0 will not trigger an onException callback.
You're welcomed to submit a patch.
If not I'll look into it asap.
Regards,
Tobie
