Hi Luisgo, From what I remember you're absolutely right and this could be quite annoying when debugging an application. Ajax API provides a `onException` callback/responder but exception is silently ignored when none is provided. [1]
I guess a less-surprising behavior would be to re-throw exception in that case, but unfortunately current `Ajax.Responders` implementation doesn't allow to know if there is such a registered responder. Furthermore, testing this behavior will only be possible on platforms that allow catching exceptions globally (`window.onerror`...). Sounds like it definitely needs discussion... BTW, It looks like, due to this try/catch statement, exception thrown within an `onException` callback will be silently ignored too... [2] Can someone confirm this?
