AS3: Is there anyway to tell if connection has been lost during FileReference.upload()?

Question

Observing FileReference.upload() I notice that if I'm uploading large file (big enough for upload to last for some time) and cut the connection (by pulling out LAN cable for example) in the middle of upload, Flash doesn't report an error... In fact it continues to fire Progress events all the way to "successful" completion.

Is this a bug? Shouldn't there be an exception thrown or error event fired?

Accordning to the documentation on FileReference.upload() it should invoke an IOErrorEvent when such a thing happens.

Try listening for an IOErrorEvent

yourFilereference.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, error)
function error(e:IOErrorEvent):void
{
    //Do something
}

I do, but it doesn't help :) – jayarjo Jan 09 '13 at 17:20
hmm, can you try listen to all different type of events that upload() can have? such as HTMLStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS etc – Johan Lindkvist Jan 09 '13 at 17:57
I do listen to all of them. But as I say only Progress events continue to fire. – jayarjo Jan 09 '13 at 18:12
