responseText is empty in Chrome if status is 400.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create and send a httprequest.
2. Check the responseText.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect a non-empty responseText. See instead an empty responseText if the 
status is 400 and Chrome is used. See the expected output if either the 
status is 200, or Firefox is used instead of Chrome.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
WinXP SP2, Chrome 3.0.195.21, Gears 0.5.32.0 (See the problem)
WinXP SP2, Firefox 3.0.14, Gears 0.5.16.0 (Works as expected)

Please provide any additional information below.
Let me know if you need more information.

I have the same symptoms, except that the status is 0 (readyState = 4)
On both "Chromium 5.0.334.0 (39541) Ubuntu" and "5.0.307.9 beta". I'm running a 
Kubuntu 9.10 box.

It works fine on firefox (on which the status from the same request on the same 
server 
is 200)
