I uploaded something to the Arcade, only to find that the json file I was using with the AJAX plugin didn't work. So I created this test:
http://www.scirra.com/arcade/example/17594/ajax-test
The problem seems to be that while the json file passes the file whitelist, it never ends up on the server. This link is a 404:

As a side note, txt files are not on the whitelist, and I find that a tad silly.
