Why is AJAX returning HTTP status code 0?

Question

For some reason, while using AJAX (with my dashcode developed application) the browser just stops uploading and returns status codes of 0. Why does this happen?

Answer 1

In my experience, you'll see a status of 0 when:

• doing cross-site scripting (where access is denied)
• requesting a URL that is unreachable (typo, DNS issues, etc)
• the request is otherwise intercepted (check your ad blocker)
• as above, if the request is interrupted (browser navigates away from the page)
