Some comments on the XMLHttpRequest draft.
Thanks!
It should probably say
| If there is a Content-Type header which contains a text/html MIME
type [...]
Done.
It can never match if the length of the entity body is less than the
number of bytes in the first column, so it can probably be reworded as:
| If charset is "null" then, for each of the rows in the following
table,
| starting with the first one and going down, if the first bytes of
/bytes/
| match the bytes given in the first column [...]
Done.
In the same step it says:
| When an encoding is determined or when no encoding is determined go
to the
| next step
This text looks redundant.
Reworded.
One of the steps for the open() method[2] says:
| Let async be the value of the async argument or true if it was
omitted.
What happens if async is set to something other than false or true? Or
is that covered somewhere else?
That would be covered at the binding level (IDL -> language mapping).
[...]
Should '1' or '2' be sent? I tested this in Opera 9.2 and Firefox 2.
Opera doesn't seem to post anything when the parameter is a number.
Firefox sends '1'.
Addressed by another reply.
The second to last step for the send() method says:
| [...] Finally, if the complete resource has been downloaded go to
the
| next step.
This text might be redundant.
Kept for clarity.
| Responses to such requests must have the content-codings
automatically
| decoded.
s/content-codings/content-encodings/?
Fixed.
The third and fourth step for the getResponseHeader():
s/for the last request sent return the/for the last request sent, return
the/ (added a comma for clarity).
Done.
