For some reason Vic99999's emails do not reach lists.w3.org. Mike?

Hello, Anne van Kesteren

mailing to you directly, because somehow my letters cannot reach w3.org

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2013JulSep/0395.html


it seems, that ESC key still can be used to abort XHR while page
loading or with some special browsers configuration.
Anyway, it would be nice to distinguish 3 situations:
1) network error;
2) cancellation by the user
3) document unloading
in my product, i want to show the dialog with information about
network error, but this dialog should not appear in other cases, as
that will annoy the user.
in my another product, i want to do retry in case of network error,
but i should not do it in case of cancellation by the user.

Thanks
