Regarding the http redirect security violation steps, the spec ( http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/XMLHttpRequest/) says "If async is set to false raise a NETWORK_ERR exception and terminate the overall algorithm." I tried out IE7, Firefox 3, and WebKit nightlies and none of them seem to throw an exception in this case.
Won't implementing the spec introduce a significant incompatibility? Or did I miss something? Thanks, Dave PS I'm asking because I doing a change in WebKit in this area.
