Empty HTTP responses cause async_load.status to be -1

[peardox]

Description

The GML websocket stuff isn't compatible with socket.io so started writing my own...

TRhe first thing you have to do when creating a web socket is to upgrade the request (see the Async - HTTP) which is then sent back to the server f0or upgrading (this could fail - in which case polling would be used)

When the response comes back from socket.io the HTTP Status will be 101 - Switching Protocols

GML treats this as a bad request with status set to -1 even though the request was perfectly fine. The only option here is to completely ignore status and use the http_status then if it's 101 proceed

I suspect that other http_status codes that are prefectly fine also are treated as bad by status

OK, status may be for the idiots but in the case of something like http_request or the other more advanced functions isn't it fair to expect the dev knows what a bad http really looks like?

Expected Change

http status 101 should not make status -1

Steps To Reproduce

1. Start GameMaker
2. Import Project
3. Note - there is a socket.io server running on the suppied URL - just a dumb echo
4. See the issue

How reliably can you recreate this issue using your steps above?

This was recently fixed in GMS2 (https://github.com/YoYoGames/GameMaker-Bugs/issues/7811), will be fixed in the next GMRT release.
