Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a Control rule and populate the HTML tab with below script.

function Search()
{

var strUrl1="{pxThread.pxReqURI Normal}";
var strUrl1 = requestURI + "?pyActivity=Test-Work-List.Name";
var oSafeUrl1 = SafeURL_createFromURL(strUrl1);
var HasMessage=httpRequestAsynch(oSafeUrl1.toURL(),null,400,1200);
}

2. Add onclick RunScript behavior on a button to call the function "Search()" and execute the script. This works fine until the step above "httpRequestAsynch" method call and the same function call is executing and working as expected in IE8 browser.
3. Try to fetch the run time value from activity execution, by using "httpRequestAsynch" method in PRPC 6.2 SP2 in Chrome 43+ browser.

Root Cause

httpRequestAsync only works in IE. Its a pure async call and requires a callback object with success function (all the processing should be done with this). It was observed from code that the third param was passed as empty that is why it failed.

Resolution

Local-change is to use pega.util.Connect.asyncRequest instead of httpRequestAsync.
