[Chromium-users] error using XMLHttpRequest.open over HTTPS

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi chromium-users,

I'm running into an issue on the latest Chrome for Windows - 4.0.249.89
(38071). It does not affect the latest version for mac, so hopefully a fix
is already out and just hasn't made it into the Windows releases yet.

While on a page delivered over HTTPS, calls to XMLHttpRequest.send()
generate an exception: "NETWORK_ERR: XMLHttpRequest Exception 101".
readyState is 1 (Open) prior to the call. The same call succeeds when the
page is opened over plain old HTTP. Thoughts and suggestions would be much
appreciated. Here's a small test case, written in PHP (just so the test case
could be contained in a single file):

causeNetworkErr.php:
<?php
if ($_GET['jav']) {
echo '<blink>Not broke!</blink>';
exit;
}
?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Try to break chroooooome</title>

<script type="text/javascript">
function getNewContent() {
var xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();

var url = "causeNetworkErr.php?jav=ya"
xmlHttp.open("GET",url,false);
xmlHttp.send(null);
var rtns=xmlHttp.responseText;

document.getElementById("survey").innerHTML=rtns;
}
</script>

</head>

<body>
<h1>Click the button to break chrome</h1>

<div id="survey">
<button onclick="surveygoinit()">Click me.</button>
</div>

</body>
</html>
