Steps to reproduce:

Attempted a Ajax request to a target that violates the same-origin policy.


Actual results:

Nothing. It failed silently.

I was stumped and had no idea why it would not work.
Lots of time were wasted debugging and researching.


Expected results:

Browser console should have logged an event to inform me that the request were blocked due to the same-origin policy, CORS, or other reason.

Perhaps throw a SecurityException.
