> Looks like success() returns TRUE all the time as foolged said. Yes, if getStatus returns 0 (either because the HTTP status code really came back from the browser as 0, or because the browser didn't supply one at all), then success will return true. This has been noted before.[1][2]
I'd love to hear from one of the core devs (NOT just someone active on this list like myself) *why* zero is considered success, because it doesn't make sense to me. The server being offline is certainly not a successful outcome. Most of the contributors to Prototype are not dumb, it's there for a reason, I just want to know what the reason is since they didn't feel it deserved a comment in the source.
