example:

start a xhr like:

var myxhr = $.ajax({

[...]

success: function(data, textStatus, xhr){

console.log('success');

console.log('xhr.status: '+xhr.status);

},

error: function() {

console.log('error');

}

});

hit ESC or cancel via calling myxhr.abort()

console-output => "success" and "xhr.status: 0"

i would expect instead (and so it was in jquery1.3.2) => "error"

tested with jquery-1.4.2 using ff3.0.18 and ff3.5.8
