Hi,

First off, great job guys. I love this library.

Now, I am having one problem with the .ajax() function. My problem is, the timeout value seems to be completely ignored.

Here is a code snippet:

1. function send_request(request_object)
2. {
3.    var req_data = "request_object=" + escape(JSON.stringify(request_object));
4.    /* Reboot never returns, so time out fast! */
5.    var timeout = 5000;
6.    if (request_object.command == "reboot")
7.       timeout = 250;
8.    /* Used by the timeout callback */
9.    g_ajax_cur_cmd = request_object.command;
10.   
11.    var resp_text =
12.       $.ajax({
13.          url:      "/cgi-bin/channel_interface.cgi",
14.          data:     req_data,
15.          timeout:  timeout,
16.          dataType: "text",
17.          method:   "POST",
18.          async:    false,
19.          cache:    false,
20.          error:    function(xmlhttp_request, status, error)
21.          {
22.             if (status == "timeout")
23.             {
24.                if (g_ajax_cur_cmd == "reboot")
25.                {
26.                   notify_success("The reboot command was successfully issued. Please " +
27.                                  "wait about one minute, then reload this page.");
28.                }
29.                else
30.                {
31.                   notify_error("The channel is not responding. Please reload this" +
32.                                "page and try again.");
33.                }
34.             }
35.          }
36.       }).responseText;
37.    g_ajax_cur_cmd = null;
38. }

The idea is that when the underlying hardware is restarted (this is a control page for a device), we should time out very quickly, rather than locking the browser. I have stepped though with a debugger, and the 250ms value is definitely being inserted when the reboot command is issued. Any idea why this is not working?

Thanks!
