Does XHR state 2 mean "headers received" or "server not respondedyet"

[David Karr]

This is probably academic (I'm only trying to verify accuracy in a
manuscript), but for XHR state 2, does it mean "response headers
received", or "server not responded yet"? I find somewhat conflicting
answers from various sources, although I think the former is more
likely.

Conflicting answers from various sources are to be expected because there is
no implemented XHR standard (yet?). So, to answer your question: yes ;-)

The status descriptions from the docs are not necessarily conflicting:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms534361(VS.85).aspx
"2 (Sent): The send method has been called. responseText is not
available. responseBody is not available."

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XmlHttpRequest
"2 LOADED: send() has been called, and headers and status are
available."

"2 - The request was successfully sent."
