Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a handler for the application's error event.
2. Create an HTTPService with bogus parameters.
3. Call the HTTPService's send() method.

Actual Results:
The handler for the error event is never called.

Expected Results:
It should be. It did in Flex 3 and the ASDoc says it will.

Workaround (if any):
If you create a handler for the HTTPService's fault event, that will get called. Use that instead.
