Access Http Body On Dojo Request Error

My webservice puts details about the occoured error in the http body. How can I access this details in a dojo request. For example the http error looks like this: HTTP/1.1 500 Inte

Solution 1:

Have a look at my answer to How to retreive XHR response code (+timestamp) of AMD'ized Dojo?

Use deferred.response.then instead of deferred.then:

var deferred = request.get("./rest/test/error", { handleAs: "json" });

deferred.response.then(
    // success
    function(response) {
        console.log("data:", response.data);      // parsed json
        console.log("http body:", response.text); // raw text
    },
    // error
    function(error) {
        var response = error.response;
        console.log("http body:", response.text);
    }
);

Solution 2:

When I've used dojo for Ajax requests, the error method always had more than one parameter. I think the first param is the request that was sent and the second param is the response or exception.

Try adding a second param to your method and see if that contains what you need.
