Q: 

ASP.NET MVC jQuery ajax call returns status code -504 instead of 5xx on Safari 4

My MVC controllers return 5xx status codes to indicate errors when called using jQuery ajax. This works great on IE8 and Firefox.

However, on my copy of Safari 4.0.5 running on Vista, this breaks. It looks like Safari is translating my 5xx status codes to -504.

Successful ajax calls work fine, and I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Safari.

Does anyone know what this status code means? I couldn't find any references to it online.
