My server returns status code 202 upon successful DELETE request. My client code makes a jQuery AJAX call to issue DELETE request. I tried all combinations of including done/fail/always and success/error/complete callbacks. I see that done/fail/always callbacks are never called, but success/error/complete are called. I also included a callback for statusCode 202, and I see that was called AFTER the success callback was called.

Since success/error/complete callbacks are deprecated, it seems to me that done/fail/always callbacks should be executed in this scenario instead.

The documentation at http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/ also does not document when statusCode callback will be invoked.
