Undocumented breaking change: responseText undefined

Hi Mitchell,
I saw your code in another thread but don't understand how deleting responseText, which doesn't exist any more, should bring it back?!

In my fiddle, I delete responseType (not responseText) as this property is used when creating the XMLHttpRequest instance and has special meaning. Setting responseType on XMLHttpRequest to 'json' will tell the browser to automatically handle the json parsing and not provide a responseText string anymore. See more on MDN about responseType: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...t/responseType

Ah, I missed that although reading the code multiple times!
Thanks!
