[XHR] Unespected case

Hi to all,
   in the paragraph 1.1 Example of Usage[1], preciselly in the example #2,
you made this call:

client.open("POST", "/ping");

I suppose that this call cannot works fine. Maybe that on the web server
root there is a page named simplly "ping", actually if you made the above
call the response is processed correctly [2] .
I think that, for a back-compatiblity, you need to provide a different mode
to make a ping call on the server.
Or I misunderstand the meaning of the example?

Best regards!
