unable to set xhr.responseType using chrome 43 beta

Question

I have some request that I'm sending the server, and I'm setting the XMLHttpRequest object I created as follows:

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.responseType = "blob";

This works just fine on the current chrome 42 version, but when I try to run the same code on chrome 43 beta, the xhr.responseType fails to be set with the value "blob". I tried other kinds of response types but it just doesn't work.

Did anyone faced this issue too? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

It seems we use pdf.js package in our app, which has a compatibility.js file that defines a setter function "responseTypeSetter", that doesn't let us to set the XMLHttpRequest's responseType to 'blob' or anything else.

Upgrading compatibility.js to a newer version had solved this problem.
