Firefox 3.0.8 works per the standard in this regard.
IE 6 does not have the concept of readyState
IE 7 and IE 8 have a concept of readyState, but it is not the same as the one
specified in the standard, and thus IE has a different behavior than WebKit
regardless of whether I put my change in or not. IE only gives access to
headers when the whole load finished, which is not what WebKit did before my
fix.

I agree, I will do that.
