Hi,
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/XMLHttpRequest-2/Overview.html
is the editor's draft of XMLHttpRequest level 2. It has definitions for
send(in ByteArray data), responseBody and overrideMimeType and defines
when several of the new events (loadstart, progress, abort, error, load)
are to be dispatched on the XMLHttpRequest object. It also includes
support for text/html responses in responseXML.
It does not yet define how the new events work with the upload attribute
of the XMLHttpRequest that returns an XMLHttpRequestUpload object. It does
not yet define cross-site requests. It does not yet define when the
redirect event is to be dispatched and what its exact semantics are. I
probably missed something here.
It includes a proposal (although all additions are essentially proposals)
for a new constructor: new XMLHttpRequest(method, url), but it has been
argued that this is not really beneficial as it only saves one method call
although it might encourage people to use the synchronous API less.
Feedback welcome!
Kind regards,
