Ah, yes, the callbacks will never be invoked, so the request will appear to take forever.

Yes, I think this is the preferred behavior. I've discussed this with Andrei and throwing an exception doesn't seem like the right thing to do as there's no precedent for this. We can't make any callbacks to script so this seems like the only sensible fix.

Also, I've added the helper HTML files for the new test to 'script-tests'. Is this correct, or should I create a new 'resources' directory?
