I think you should also implement the error function of the $.ajax method.
error(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown)Function
A function to be called if the request fails. The function is passed three arguments: The XMLHttpRequest object, a string describing the type of error that occurred and an optional exception object, if one occurred. Possible values for the second argument (besides null) are "timeout", "error", "notmodified" and "parsererror".
$.ajax({
url: "http://my-ip/test/test.php",
data: {},
complete: function(xhr, statusText){
alert(xhr.status);
},
error: function(xhr, statusText, err){
alert("Error:" + xhr.status);
}
});
