are you able to examine arbitrary response headers with xhr? if so,
why not use a custom response header to unambiguously distinguish
successful 204 responses? in other words, continue to return 204 as
normal, and include another header (write it in the same filter that
processes the POST-tunneling request header?) that the broken browsers
can look for to see that the request succeeded.
