Hi. I recently read [1] regarding "How To - Bulletproof Ajax Requests".
Out of that "How To", I see that the use of an on0 callback is useful. I would like to be able to use an on0 Responder. Defining an on0 callback for every request/periodical/update AJAX call sort of rubs me wrong. Duplication of code, maintenance issues, etc. Having a global responder for on0 would allow me to define in a single place how I want to handle the demise/inaccessibility of the web server. Currently, there is no support for the onXYZ responders, just callbacks which need to be defined for every request/periodical/update. I've had a ticket (with a patch) which I've been using for over 2 years now [2]. The patch on the ticket is probably out of date. I can submit a new one if required. The one thing that is slightly different about the onXYZ responders is that they can control the cascade to the onSuccess/onFailure callback. If the onXYZ responder returns true, then the normal onSuccess/onFailure callback can be called. If false, this inhibits the onSuccess/onFailure callback. Specifically, an on0 responder should return false to stop the onSuccess route from being followed. Is there any interest in such a mechanism? Regards, Richard Quadling.
