1036484 - No error on empty 404

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Workers, defect)

Description

[Tom S [:evilpie]]

I just spent a ridiculous amount of time figuring out why the Worker onerror callback wasn't invoked. Turns out when you send a completely blank 404 as worker scripts, onerror isn't invoked. (Content-Lenght: 0) However most webserver send some HTML, which doesn't validate as JS and thus an error is thrown. I don't know the spec for Workers, but I would expect this to thrown an error.
