Error on xmlrpcresp Object

Question

I'm working on a project that I write a Firefox addon to communicate with a service on my client server. My add send a POST request and then the server encounter an error with xmlrpcresp Object that is:

Error: xmlrpcresp Object
(
  [val] => 0
  [valtyp] => 
  [errno] => 6
  [errstr] => No data received from server.
  [payload] => 
  [hdrs] => Array
    (
    )

  [_cookies] => Array
    (
    )

  [content_type] => text/xml
  [raw_data] => 
)

and my addon request (it intend to recieve json data from the server):

Request({
            contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
            headers: {
                "Keep-Alive": (model.get("interval1")  || 30) - 10
                },
            content: content,
            url: url,
            onComplete: function(res){
                var response = res || this.response;
                logger.logFile("collect steps status " + helper.getStatusData(response.json))
                if (response.status == "200"){
                    var json = response.json;
                    logger.object(json, "track download id");
                    if(json.results && json.results.status == "0") 
                        callback(json);
                    else{
                        if(fallback) fallback(json);
                    }
                }
                else{
                    if(fallback) fallback(json);
                }
            }
        }).post()

The client's IT team said that it might be a header error and this not always happen, just sometime.

Can my above request cause the error? Or, it's just some server side process's error?

"No data received from server" is not an error message that the browser gave you, it is the response from the xmlrpc library on the server. In other words, your add-on successfully sent a request to the server and received a response. In the response the server indicates that its RPC call failed. How could this be a client problem? It is quite obviously a problem with the server that the RPC call went to - instead of giving a response back it returned 200 OK without any data which is what the error message is saying.

Thanks Wladimir Palant. One more question - I have little knowledge about PHP XMLRPC - do you know why and when "No data received from server" happens? So that i can talk to the client's team? – leegor Oct 05 '11 at 17:21
@leegor: And I have no knowledge about PHP XMLRPC whatsoever. So better ask a new question ;) – Wladimir Palant Oct 05 '11 at 17:24
