--- Comment #35 from James Simonsen <simonjam at chromium.org>  2011-06-16 15:29:11 PST ---
I disagree with the behavior of the new test. Following the XHR specs here:

http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/ "Infrastructure for the send() method"
http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest2/ "Infrastructure for the send() method"

"If there is a network error
In case of DNS errors, TLS negotiation failure, or other type of network errors, this is a network error. Do not request any kind of end user interaction.

Note: This does not include HTTP responses that indicate some type of error, such as HTTP status code 410."

Instead, we should work our way through the state machine to here:

"Switch to the DONE state."

There is no special handling of status codes for responses without bodies. In all cases, we should fire onload.

I'd still like to keep this XHR test, since it's a worthwhile thing to test (and it's already caught bugs). I will fix it up to match the spec and move it to the xmlhttprequest directory.

It seems the original bug is still untested though. It's about the main resource, not XHRs. There ought to be a test specifically for that.
