statusCode can not be initialized as an ajax option in $.ajaxPrefilter

Here is a demonstration of this issue: ​http://jsfiddle.net/antialias/BbQHr/

Confirmed in both 1.x and 2.x.

OK, I've looked into this and it's quite tricky to fix because we have some nasty interaction with jqXHR.statusCode() so what I'd recommend is to actually use jqXHR.statusCode() instead of manipulating the option directly:

$.ajaxPrefilter( function( _, jqXHR ) {
    jqXHR.statusCode( {
        404: function() {
            // Your code here
        }
    } );
} );

[anonymous]

} else if ( type === "error" ) {
  complete(
    // file protocol always yields status 0, assume 404
    xhr.status || 404,
    xhr.statusText
  );

And this is what you get
