On a general note, "if window.stop() is invoked" is not appropriate language. window.stop() could set some flag for XMLHttpRequest to look at, or have some other kind of connection, but implicit connections are bad. We should remove those when we encounter them. On Sat, Aug 17, 2013 at 1:48 AM, Jonas Sicking <jonas@sicking.cc> wrote: > I come to the opposite conclusion.
