Question

I\'m making some GET requests to an App Engine app, testing in Chrome. Whilst I can see in javascript console that some calls result in a 500 server error, I can\'t seem to

It doesn't look like you're using jQuery's document.ready binding correctly. The $().ready(...) version is more-or-less deprecated. Try one of these instead:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $.ajaxSetup({
        error: function(x, e) {
            if (x.status == 500) {
                alert('Internel Server Error.');
            }
        }
    });
});

or the shorthand:

$(function() {
    $.ajaxSetup({
        error: function(x, e) {
            if (x.status == 500) {
                alert('Internel Server Error.');
            }
        }
    });
});
