I am using the Connection Manager to upload files, through setForm() / asyncRequest(). When the upload succeeds, callback.upload is properly called. However, when it fails (say because of a connection issue), then callback.failure isn't called.

Is callback.failure supposed to be called, or am I using the API incorrectly?

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for looking into this. I tried to register a listener on the "complete" event: my handler is called when the upload succeeds, but it isn't when the upload fails because of a connectivity issue. You can reproduce this with the example linked below. Select a small file, and click on "Send". It will send it to a page that waits 10 seconds. After about 10 seconds, you'll get alerts for "Complete" and "Success" (upload handler). So far so good. Now do the same, but while the file is uploaded, cut the connection while the upload is in progress (on Windows, I do this by disabling the connection in Network Connections). Uploading will stop right away, but no handler is called.

You can reproduce this with Chrome and IE. With Firefox, I am not sure why, but when submitting the form the whole page is reloaded, not just the iframe. The JavaScript code is inline in the HTML of the page.
