Thanks for the quick response. I used to see the timeout behavior, i wanted to report that, strangely it was no longer happening, instead i get the status as 0.
I just ran the above script from a background page in Chrome version 4.0.223.11, Please find the output below: sending test request hello inside onreadystatechange hello onreadystatechange:0 hello onerror:0 Luckily now I am getting the timeout behavior as well with an HTTPS url from the background page. r.open("POST", "https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/update", true); // Note that it is HTTPS now -- Sibil Mohammed On Nov 6, 7:12 am, Aaron Boodman <a...@chromium.org> wrote: > Hello Sibil, thanks for reporting this. > > I investigated it and I think I see a problem, but it isn't what you describe. > > When I try this script from an extension page running in a tab, I get > an auth dialog.
