We have implemented 'onerror' from XMLHttpRequest level 2, which means that we
now have a way to check for asynchronous request failures.

However during my quick testing, I have tried doing a synchronous one to a
non-existent file (just modify the given test case to do a synchronous request)
and we do not dispatch an error event nor do we throw an exception.

We do not raise an exception because it breaks some website (see
http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/23889) but we could at least dispatch an event
so there is a way to determine that an error occurred.
