I'm running into a situation where I need to be able to handle situations in ajax where the server stops responding. What I've done for
testing is I've killed apache and then submitted an ajax request. From what I can tell, it would seem that I get all the way through readyState 2 and then it dies. I get no timeout or anything. FF throws an exception that I am catching and IE just tells me object expected when it hits my httpReq object.
I'm looking for elegent ways to handle this because I am not able to check the http status code for a 500. Any suggestions?
