You should _never_ do synchronous requests on the web, it's a complete recipe for disaster, it locks up the UI whilst waiting for the return, it has never complete problems in a number of browsers including Internet Explorer - even without the obvious problem with HTTP being limited to 2 connections, and it's trivial to have multiple applications accessing the same site at the same time.
