Correct, this was a work around for a pre-1.5 FF issue. My notes on it say "see mozilla bug #246651" but I remember thinking that jQuery was using the same work around as another js library (prototype?) and that that project had its own bug to get rid of the work around. I thought I saw that the work around had finally been removed in more recent versions of jQuery. I last patched a 1.0.4 version for local use at work but I think it was there until 1.1.
There was also another reason for explicitly closing the connection that Jake Cigar(?) asked for when overriding the mime type of the request. I forget his reasons for that right now. Ian On 4/10/07, Aaron Heimlich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I vaguely remember there being some issue with older versions of Firefox that this solved, but don't quote me on that.
