Description

A followup of PR #4243 and an extension of issue #4126. We should stop evaluating scripts returned with an unsuccessful HTTP status when loaded via jQuery.ajax with dataType: "script". The fix in #4243 only targets DOM manipulation.

Ajax: Do not execute scripts on unsuccessful HTTP status
62d48b6 
The content returned in an error response may not be valid Javascript.  I
first saw this when trying to retrieve a missing script file, the server
replied with HTTP 404 and an HTML page detailing the error.  So the error
which appeared on the console was "SyntaxError: expected expression,
got '<'" because the browser was attempting to parse the error page as
a script file.

Fixes jquerygh-4250

I have a possible fix and a test case in commit 6716b75.

@skrobinson Your patch skips converters completely for unsuccessful responses; this is not right, it doesn't pass our test suite.

The proper fix will most likely require generalizing what was done in #4243 so that the logic is applied to all requests with dataType: "script".

Ajax: Use noop converter for unsuccessful HTTP responses
2cb0639 
Unsuccessful responses may not contain text convertible to the intended
type (e.g. json, script, etc.) using the normal converter.  The two added
test cases only check for `dataType: "script"`.

@mgol Thank you for your feedback. I've re-read #4243 and #4258 and tried again using the pattern in #4258. I've also improved my testing and have a new attempt at a fix.

@skrobinson Let us know if you need any help/direction! (or if you don't have time to submit a PR so that we know we should look at it ourselves)

Add failing JSONP service

While trying to improve my fix for jquerygh-4250, I needed a failing service.
This will be parked on a side branch until it is ever needed.  Which may
be never.

Ajax: Do not execute scripts for unsuccessful HTTP responses
da3dd85 
The script transport used to evaluate fetched script sources which is
undesirable for unsuccessful HTTP responses. This is different to other data
types where such a convention was fine (e.g. in case of JSON).

(cherry picked from 50871a5)

Fixes gh-4250
Fixes gh-4655
Closes gh-4379
