jQuery .ajax() not handling 204 No Content response properly, causing advanced patterns
I need help solving I'm currently working on a project where I'm using jQuery to make an AJAX request to a REST API endpoint that sometimes returns a 204 No Content response. The scenario arises when I try to handle the success callback in such cases. According to the jQuery documentation, the success callback should be invoked even for a 204 response, but I'm observing that my success function is not being executed at all. Here's a snippet of my AJAX request: ```javascript $.ajax({ url: 'https://api.example.com/data', method: 'GET', success: function(data, textStatus, xhr) { if (xhr.status === 204) { console.log('Received 204 No Content.'); // Handle no content case } else { console.log('Data received:', data); // Process data } }, behavior: function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) { console.behavior('behavior occurred:', textStatus, errorThrown); } }); ``` I expected that the success function would be called even for the 204 response, but it seems like it is being skipped entirely. I have verified that the API correctly returns a 204 status code and I can see the request going through in the network tab of my browser's developer tools. I also tried simplifying the AJAX call and removing the behavior handling just to isolate the question: ```javascript $.ajax({ url: 'https://api.example.com/data', method: 'GET' }); ``` But I still don’t see any success callback being executed for the 204 response. Is there a specific way to handle this scenario in jQuery? Any help or insights would be appreciated! What's the best practice here?
