I don't think that's the intent of the spec - the intent is that INVALID_STATE_ERR is sent if the port is in a closed state, not if there's an I/O error after send. But Michael's right, I don't think there's any way to determine that the server received the message - I guess the intent is that applications will build their own send/ack protocol on top of postMessage(), as you note. -atw
