So in practice until page reload, right?
Why are DNS errors different from under underlying network layer errors
here? For example, when using a proxy, you'll never actually get
"useful" DNS errors, since the only thing you resolve is the proxy. So
it doesn't make much sense to me to special-case DNS errors...
Also, that still leaves the question of 2xx responses that aren't
explicitly mentioned in the spec. Those should be treated as 200 in my
opinion.
