Thanks Jonah. I use something like that elsewhere (an HTTP handler that logs "get strings" sent to it and returns an image) but I can't see a clean way of making it fit into this job.
A little more detail. My service has a bunch of methods that accept posted data and return various things like serialized content of drop downs and xhtml formatted reports. It's a nice clean architecture (compiled code on the server, jQuery on the browser). I would like to have the ability to log exceptions on the browser, if they occur in selected places (within try catch structures). This would bring browser issues into line with server side code, where I'm logging exceptions. I'd really like a uniform mechanism, in line with my remote method calls via jQuery. (But without any unneeded complexity.) I'm abstracted away from the marshalling plumbing with jQuery, which I like. I could create an alternate XMLHTTP handler (in JavaScript) which throws the callback/response away, but I'd prefer not to do that.
