I am handling the error in a if block in the method where I receive the response from the server. I put the server down in order to test the service unavailable scenario
_onResponse: function (err, res) {
   if (err){
 }
on doing alert("error " + err);
I receive 
Error: Request has been terminated
Possible causes: the network is offline, Origin is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin, the page is being unloaded, etc.
    at Request.crossDomainError (http://localhost:9000/index.js:33875:14)
    at XMLHttpRequest.xhr.onreadystatechange (http://localhost:9000/index.js:33945:20)
I want to read the value of Error:
I tried doing err.message but then I receive the entire body of the error. 
I tried with err.name I just get the text 'Error'
How do I get the content Request has been terminated in a javascript variable?
