How to test method that only side-effect should be to trigger a URL request out of the control of the application. For illustration:



function asyncFire(srcURI, callback, ...){
return setTimeout(function(){
var img = new Image();
img.onerror = img.onload = callback
img.src = srcURI;
}, 15);
}


The real function also have retries and such, and tries to use sendBeacon first. All that I can figure how to mock the environment to test, but no idea how to detect the request triggered (or not) on karma runner.



I can also make the test work with local requests, but intercepting remote requests (i.e. to a domain out of the test scope) would be nice, specially to test dns resolution failures, etc.
