resolve, reject and notify are missing in jqXHR-object

[albin@…]

The resolve, reject, notify with their additional With methods are missing from the  jqHRX-object returned by an ajax-call. This should either be mentioned  in the documentation or added to the object.

[gibson042]

The jqXHR objects returned by $.ajax() as of jQuery 1.5 implement the Promise interface, giving them all the properties, methods, and behavior of a Promise (see  Deferred object for more information)

Each jqXHR implements Promise, but not Deferred. You don't get to manually resolve/reject/notify them.

Right. The docs for $.ajax are massive, but the pony *is* in there:

The jqXHR objects returned by $.ajax() as of jQuery 1.5 implement the Promise interface, giving them all the properties, methods, and behavior of a Promise (see Deferred object for more information). --  http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/#jqXHR

Promise: This object provides a subset of the methods of the Deferred object (then, done, fail, always, pipe. isResolved, and isRejected) to prevent users from changing the state of the Deferred. --  http://api.jquery.com/Types/#jqXHR
