Bug ID: 28117 Summary: Clarify timeout in case Preflighted CORS requests Product: WebAppsWG Version: unspecified Hardware: PC OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: XHR Assignee: ann...@annevk.nl Reporter: na...@vimeo.com QA Contact: public-webapps-bugzi...@w3.org CC: m...@w3.org, public-webapps@w3.org The spec needs to specify how timeout should behave when there is Preflight OPTIONS request. It seemed logical to assume xhr.timeout = timeout (OPTIONS + ACTUAL) request The way browsers implement is non intuitive. Say I set timeout as 1000 (1sec). The browser sets 1000ms timeout for OPTIONS and 1000ms timeout for ACTUAL request. Clarifying that in the spec would enable browsers to implement the right way. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
