Details

(Whiteboard: [webRequest] triaged) 

I am working on an extension: https://github.com/jonathanKingston/fix-my-http which is rewriting URLs on the fly to be HTTPS.

However it isn't catching any form of timeouts on the page via WebRequest.onCompleted or onErrorOcurred.

My test URL is: https://itv.com which just spins until it doesn't respond.

I would like some way to pickup errors like this, it doesn't have to be through onErrorOcurred etc.

I'm pretty sure this is not a timeout issue, but is bug 1149250.

Specifically I have a test that basically is the same as:

https://github.com/jonathanKingston/fix-my-http/blob/master/background.js#L48

Changing protocol from http to https is a failure point.

jkt, I think you were going to provide a simplified example, just wanted to touch base before it pops out of my brain buffer.
