Chrome(WebKit) and Firefox has ability to abort XHR requests:
With ESC key (in chrome it works while page is loading), also XHR is aborted while page unloading.
Chrome fires “abort”
Firefox fires “error”
In Firefox I can not distinguish network error from users abort(workarounds with page unloading detection will NOT work), but I have to show a warning message to the user when there is a network error.
I think, that
“abort” event is FOR that case.
this situation should be clearly spelled out in the spec
