Problem:
Recently my team reported a problem while integrating one of the Ajax features I developed. Whenever they try to access that feature, it throws up an error "System error: -1072896658". I was suprised because that is working fine when I access in my test environment. Later after debugging in the integration environment, I found out that the problem is with charset. While configuring the server environment, they mistakenly specified the charset as "UTF8" (instead of utf-8) and that is the culprit of this error. So, whenever the response is received in the browser and accessed using xhr.responseText, MSXMl.dll (MSXML component) is not able to interpret the response and throwing a system error.
Solution:
By changing the charset to "utf-8", it started working absolutely fine.
Conclusion:
Make sure to specify the correct charset.

I also am getting this error (intermittently) when using MSXML or WinHTTP to download HTML pages from pbase.com. The files are HTML, not XML, and sometimes trying to retrieve the .ResponseText property triggers this error.
I resolved it by reading the Byte Array .ResponseBody instead, and writing it character by character into a string.
If you get this error when trying to read the .ResponseText property, try this instead:
Dim sURI as string
Dim HTMLReq as MSXML2.XMLHTTP40
sURI="http://www.mysite.com"
With HTMLReq
.Open "GET", sURI, False
.send
End With
' Manually build the ResponseText
Dim c
Dim sResponseText As String
sResponseText = ""
For Each c In HTMLReq.responseBody
sResponseText = sResponseText & Chr$(c)
Next
charset=utf8 is also wrong :-(
Thanks, Gosh!
I found your post via Google and it has made my day!
So, I was using UTF-8 (all upper case) and switched to utf-8 (all lower case).
Aaaand... woa! Our "beloved" IE just stopped displaying the weirdo and stupid -1072896658 error message and my AJAX call worked as expected! =)
Thanks again!
Hi, I had that exact error on php.ini
Thanks to you, it's solved now.
I knew that the problem had to be related with charset. Last day, I changed a lot of things about charset.
Now a question, witch debug do you used/use when you discovered the problem?
I can't get no love...
3 weeks ago my JSP ajax demo was working fine. Today i'm getting that error.... nothing was changed... and I'm not specifying a charset anywhere...
Adding one in doesn't seem to help either...
Anyone has a good solution for this ?
I use J2EE and if I write directly to response via the OutputStream works fine if I redirect the rendering to a JSP is not working...
Still digging!
Hi I just had the same problem.
My Java Server Page makes an AJAX call to another Java Server Page.
I was getting the Systems Error Message in the:
var response = xmlHttp.responseText;
To Solve the problem, In the JSP that generates the AJAX response I did two things:
I added this at the top of the JSP:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
and then I set the content type to UTF-8.
response.setContentType("text/xml;charset=UTF-8");
all in lower case! :)
cool thanks
THANK YOU FOR THIS POST!
Another hint for PHP-Users:
header('content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
Apenas para agradecer.
resolveu meu problema.
Obrigado!!!!!
Thanks, man...
Thanks for this USEFUL post.
I had other issues with jquery ajax ie, before having this issue.
I resolved all, but when a system error appears. SYSTEM ERROR? Whatever...
So i google and got here.
And you solved my day.
Speccially when i am doing an huge project with in a very short time, and still want to make it good to the client.
Anyway....
Just to say thanks
THANK YOU!
This page deserves to be better referenced. I had the same problem using explorer7 ("System error: -1072896658") in all my applications while firefox was doing fine. I had to change "utf8" into "utf-8" in my php.ini as indicated, then everything was working fine again.
Thanks.
Found this post when I got this error in VBA. Nothing I can really do about this though for mine except move on. Only one page causes the error. Still looking if there is some workaround though.
