When using `XMLHttpRequest` timeout never fires as it should according to [specs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest).

- Download project (node \> 4 required. I’m running 5.7.1 but anything \> 4 should work).
- `$ cd timeout-test`
- Start mock server: `$ cd server && npm install && node server.js`
- Run timeout-app
- I’ve also attached a web equivalent of the exact same code. `cd timeout-web && npm install && npm start`. Open browser in localhost:3001 and see console output.

Web times out as expected, while Fuse app fires onload after 3 seconds.
