The onerror and ontimeout handler are not calling back with errors but with error events (without any messages). Therefore the errorFunc is wrapping them as Error: [ProgressEvent object].

Here's my quick proposal on how to fix this. Just pass generic error messages to the errorFunc, then there will be no case where the error needs to be constructed there.

The spec can be quite helpful here: https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/

It's not a surprise. The check for error type was there for the case when the function is called with an error. The split between error and timeout could be useful though.

It's a breaking change, so I'll schedule merging this for 3.0

Closing this one in favor of #164 - the same thing but rebased on top of current development.
