        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Using AJAX and the XMLHttpRequest object, you can send data to the server 
and then later get a callback on the client in JavaScript.  On the server
side if you call

  response.getWriter().write()

and pass either null or the empty string ("") there is no callback on the
client side.  This Safari behavior is different from IE and FireFox:  in
IE and FireFox the client side callback occurs even if the string that is 
passed from the server is null or empty.  It's a very small bug but it 
cost me most of a day to find it in my web app.
