Work on file:// URLs.

[odensc]

XHR requests for file:// URLs always return status 0.

Hm, I'm going to have to think about this. Zero statuses are also used for a bunch of errors. I'm not sure how best to discern between a zero status that's an error and one that isn't (without using onload which isn't supported in older browsers).

[odensc]

Maybe we could check if it starts with "file://"? Or, is there a way I can tell onError that it's not an error and to continue in my code?

[odensc]

That seems to be working. Thanks! Could you update the httpplease version and publish?

Alright, I did a lot of thinking about this. IMO the issue is in httpplease; namely, it falsely identifies all 0 status responses as errors. Of course, you can't blame it too much; XHR's traditional means of checking for completion—onreadystatechange—falls down there. The only way to really know if it's an error is by using onerror. So that's what the new version does, if onerror is supported. If not, it'll fall back to the old behavior. That means that old browsers will still have the false errors, but I doubt that's an issue in practice.

Wow, you were fast! Yup, it's on its way (:

Alright, 0.4.1 is up.
