I have been trying to setup custom ajaxTransports for jQuery to short-circuit some workflows in certain scenarios for our product. However, I have had zero success in getting these transports to be honored (whereas I have many working custom ajaxPrefilters).
Tested with multiple versions of jQuery:
- 1.5.2
- 1.6.4
- 1.7.2
- 1.8.0
Tested with multiple browsers:
- Firefox 15
- Chrome 21
- iOS 5 webviews
...
None of them worked.

If I add a dataType
to narrow it down, then it works fine.

Am I just doing something all wrong? I'd be happy to be told so, so long as I can get this working! -_-
Here is jsFiddle
