After 1 minute on my modem (2016)

Re:After 1 minute on my modem (2016) by eponeponepon on Saturday January 14, 2017 @01:26PM (#13399750)

  can I take a moment to call out
  WHATWG for deciding to specify 
  that all networking errors in 
  XmlHttpRequest get status: 0

I think this is one of those times where people should be ignoring the spec.

Do the w3c specs have anything to say on the matter?

According to w3c:

> The error flag indicates some type of network error or request abortion

and in their spec for "network errors" at https://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-XMLHttpRequest-20120117/#reque... unless you're using it in synchronous mode, it just sets the error flag. There's an onerror callback, but it doesn't appear to get any information about what went wrong than the WHATWG version.
