Title: Wrap try-catch around xhr.status access to fix IE9 JS error c00c023f

In IE9, if the following steps occur:
1. Create a XMLHttpRequest object
2. Assign an onreadystatechanged event handler
3. Execute a request
4. Abort the request before the response has been handled

Then:
Any attempt to read any properties off the XMLHttpRequest will cause the error:
"Could not complete the operation due to error c00c023f"

Solution:
Catch the error and assume the status is 0.
