Hi Julian Yes, with AJAX requests I meant using XMLHTTPRequest. If the initial page load yields a 404 will there be any scripts to execute at all? Oh yes, absolutely. Have you ever written a single page app? There is lots of logic to execute when a 404 occurs. I could count plenty of use

I had to deal with this on a script created IMG element the other day. I used onerror to deal with it. For xmlhttprequest you can use the status field. Why is that not enough? Silvia. On 23 May 2014 18:06, Michael Heuberger michael.heuber...@binarykitchen.com wrote: Good points Mat In

I think he wants to be able to serve the exact same single page no matter what the status code is (i.e. including `404`s) and then be able to react to the initial page status code on the client-side. A bit of an edge case as most people serve different pages with HTTP errors but it is a logical

Hi Silvia Yes, I know this trick but in my opinion it's a waste of bandwidth (a small one I know but multiply this with thousands of calls worldwide every hour ...) If we could obtain the status code from the first, raw HTTP request, then there is no need for this IMG trick anymore. Michael On
