jQuery 1.5 Local File AJAX requests are "not successful" despite working fine in 1.4.4

[samuel@…]

Loading ​file:// results in the error callback.

At line 7251, I put a breakpoint, here is the contents of xhr:

XMLHttpRequest
onabort: null
onerror: null
onload: null
onloadstart: null
onprogress: null
onreadystatechange: function () {}
readyState: 4
responseText: "//	This file is part of the "jQuery.Syntax" project, and is licensed under the GNU AGPLv3. //	Copyri…"
responseXML: null
status: 0
statusText: ""
upload: XMLHttpRequestUpload
withCredentials: false
__proto__: XMLHttpRequestPrototype

Despite being successful, on line 6430, because status is 0, the request is considered failed.

N.B. running exactly the same code from a web server results in the correct code being executed, I guess because status will be 200.

N.B. I've verified this problem with both Safari 3 and FF 3.6.12

Sorry, I meant Safari 5 ... getting old :)

I just double checked and yes, 1.4.4 works fine in the same situation.

Fixes #8125. Status is set to 200 for requests with status 0 when location.protocol if "file:". Added test/localfile.html to control it works.

Another problem occurs when inserting html code by ajaxing from local file as follows though no problem occurs with http.

Node cannot be inserted at the specified point in the hierarchy" code: "3 error source line: [Break On This Error] fragment.appendChild( ret[i] ); jquery-git.js (line 5605)
