Advanced Requests and Responses in Ajax

An anonymous reader writes "The Web is no longer a place where simple applications are tolerated; 'users have become more advanced, customers expect robustness and advanced error reporting, and managers are fired because an application goes down 1 percent of the time. It's your job then, to go beyond a simple Ajax application that requires a more thorough understanding of XMLHttpRequest.' This DevWorks article tries to help developers use Ajax to build a solid foundation in which an application handles errors and problems smoothly."

    When I tried to download the code from the article, and clicked through the license, it said:
    404 Not Found

    Not Found
    The requested URL /ibmdl/pub/software/dw/web/ wa-ajaxintro3_ajax-xhr_adv.zip was not found on this server.

    Perhaps someone should write an article on how to write robust AJAX code. Oh, wait...

    The Web is no longer a place for information exchange. It is a place to invest your money, to hire more and more coders/artists/testers/managers, to maintain all this eye-candy. There is a reason: It looks just like a real application inside your web browser!

    We don't have anything special to say. But now instead of looking for a `Back' button, you may drag-n-drop our whole corporate site directly to your Recycled Bin!
