$http.post crashes when request times out!

[gchurchley]

If a timeout is used on a $http.post request, and the timeout expires, IE9 throws an exception. This means that code cannot be written to handle timeout conditions

EDIT: I have created a single html page that runs on IE10, Chrome, and Firefox, and clearly shows the error on IE9:
http://www.apxproto.com/api/ngPost.htm

You don't need to read any further.

Here's a plunker: http://plnkr.co/12rp7WqmDpPJC5ASazkJ
Here's a jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/bonneville/J3Txh/

Note that for some reason, the plunker and jsfiddle will not run on IE9 - even for the $http.post requests that don't time out! You will have to put the code into a web page to see the problem.

One problem you have is that you are trying to log headers() when headers is undefined

eddiemonge: I have updated the plunker and jsFiddle so that the error callback doesn't log headers. Note that the headers is being passed in to the callbacks as a parameter. More importantly, the angular code crashes on IE9 BEFORE the callbacks are called in the case of a timeout.

this is not IE9 specific issue, so I updated the original issue title
