events does not provide access to the response object

[eximius313]

Events iron-form-error and iron-form-response don't provide access to the event.detail.response object.
While iron-form-error doesn't have it at all (it allows access only to the request), in iron-form-response event.detail.response is set to null.

I think I've independently run into the same issue. Using both get and post methods, event.detail.response always returns null.
To verify that everything else was successful, response also includes:
event.detail.response: null
event.detail.aborted: false
event.detail.errored: false
event.detail.status: 200
event.detail.statusText: "OK"
event.detail.timedOut: false
event.detail.succeeded: true

iron-form is being submitted to a PHP script which simply echo's "Hello World".

This issue does not appear to affect json content types, which work normally.
I tested text and html content types and both returned null instead of the expected output.

DOCTYPE='application/json', iron-form.contentType='json' => non-null
DOCTYPE='text/plain', iron-form.contentType='text' => null
DOCTYPE='text/html', iron-form.contentType='html' => null

+1 for response object for text/html

/cc @rictic, since iron-form is just using iron-ajax for submission

[eximius313]

@rictic are there any chances of resolving this issue? I'd really appreciate this.

hi,
any progress in solving this issue?

I tested on JSON, it returned null.

[rictic]

Hm, I'm having trouble reproducing this issue. Usually when response is unexpectedly null that's because the underlying iron-ajax has been configured to parse the response as JSON, but the response wasn't legal JSON. In that case the web platform is specced to set response to null.

Here's a repro case, comment out the handleAs line to see the response parsed as raw text rather than json: https://jsbin.com/mijuxocuho/edit?html,output

[eximius313]

@rictic It works for you because https://httpbin.org/get?name=hi2 returns JSON.
as @Typel stated - in this particular case it works, but it does not work neither for text nor html.
iron-ajax should support not only JSON responses, so please reopen this issue.

[rictic]

It works for response types other than JSON, you just have to tell the underlying iron-ajax the response type to expect, as the response is parsed by the browser before javascript gets a hold of it.

Here's the above example, configured to treat the response type as text: https://jsbin.com/cajizisexu/edit?html,output
