I can't find any piece of code using this.progress.update_callback and this.progress.error_callback on this line: ajax.js

My google-fu and ctrl-F fu is not strong enough.

The way this thing works is that a PHP settings gives the name of a JS function that is used as callback. It's wrong, that's not how you use javascript and If this needs to be supported and there is actual code using it, I'd be happy to do it properly (this could use some jquery ui to make it work).

Here is a patch that gets rid of it, it uses eval() and gets in the way of #1417378: Remove eval() from tableHeader JavaScript and #1415788: Javascript winter clean-up.

There was a commit not long ago that fixed the uploadprogress bar: #935208: PECL uploadprogress bar doesn't appear.. Maybe it made the code you mention obsolete.

I'm not sure, but it's definitely related.

I can still use the progressbar for my file upload. It's the closest I've been to related code, that's already a win, thanks.

I need a review because I can't find anything more about this. For me this has to go.

The default error message for machine_name fields would be: The machine-readable name must contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores.. (Mhh ... wrong issue.)

Fixing method names in issue title.

With this patch admin/reports/updates/check stops working. If you search for updateCallback and errorCallback in core/misc/batch.js you'll find that it looks like it's beeing used there. But I am not sure enough to mark this won't fix.

Oh yeah I ended up breaking that indeed.

What I want to remove is the eval part, I don't want to take out the methods you're talking about because it could be used, that's a valid thing to have.

Looks good. Throbbers and progress bars in core are still working.

Looks good to me.

We discussed in IRC, even asked @merlinofchaos and others whether anyone uses this dynamic callback, and apparently no one even knew that this even existed. The code dates back to ahah.js.

That said, it's still an API change, so we should at least write a small change notice.

Looks like this commit didn't actually make it in. Also still needs that change notification that sun suggests.
