what http status?

[arty]

i am trying to find out if it's viable to use a http status when the page has been requested but the readystate times out indifinately at 1 so if this happen i could update a div showing a consequent message like "your request has timeout please try again" just like on a classic html environment you get:

"The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.,The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments. etc.."

so what http status should be used for this?

You just need to check the readyState of the http object. The status will only be available when the request is complete. Choose a number of seconds which you think appropriate and check the readyState. If it's still not complete, abort the request and display the message.

btw do you know what http status equals to this:
"The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.,The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments. etc.."

HTTP 1.1 status codes according to RFC 2616

Are you using Ajax?
I could be wrong here but...I thought that ReadyState only works with Ajax calls.
