Answer 1

Judging by the jsoncallback=? parameter and the response jQuery191...780({...}), it seems like jQuery is generating a JSONP request. JSONP requests are not subject to the same origin policy restrictions but they do have the following limitation as described here:

Note: This [error] handler is not called for cross-domain script and cross-domain JSONP requests.

The solution:

1. Create a pure JSON request if the server allows cross-domain requests
2. Look at answers for these questions:
   • How do I catch jQuery $.getJSON [...] error when using JSONP?
   • jQuery ajax (jsonp) ignores a timeout and doesn't fire the error event
3. Use jquery-jsonp -- it does not give you the HTTP error code
