    AJAX - XMLHTTPREQUEST

    http://www.tutorialspoint.com/ajax/what_is_xmlhttprequest.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com

    The XMLHttpRequest object is the key to AJAX. It has been available ever since Internet Explorer
    5.5 was released in July 2000, but was not fully discovered until AJAX and Web 2.0 in 2005 became
    popular.

    XMLHttpRequest XHR is an API that can be used by JavaScript, JScript, VBScript, and other web
    browser scripting languages to transfer and manipulate XML data to and from a webserver using
    HTTP, establishing an independent connection channel between a webpage's Client-Side and
    Server-Side.

    The data returned from XMLHttpRequest calls will often be provided by back-end databases.
    Besides XML, XMLHttpRequest can be used to fetch data in other formats, e.g. JSON or even plain
    text.

    You already have seen a couple of examples on how to create an XMLHttpRequest object.

    Listed below is listed are some of the methods and properties that you have to get familiar with.

    XMLHttpRequest Methods
    abort

    Cancels the current request.

    getAllResponseHeaders

    Returns the complete set of HTTP headers as a string.

    getResponseHeaderheaderName

    Returns the value of the specified HTTP header.

    openmethod, URL

    openmethod, URL, async

    openmethod, URL, async, userName

    openmethod, URL, async, userName, password

    Specifies the method, URL, and other optional attributes of a request.

    The method parameter can have a value of "GET", "POST", or "HEAD". Other HTTP methods,
    such as "PUT" and "DELETE" primarilyusedinRESTapplications may be possible.

    The "async" parameter specifies whether the request should be handled asynchronously or
    not. "true" means that the script processing carries on after the send method without waiting
    for a response, and "false" means that the script waits for a response before continuing script
    processing.

    sendcontent

    Sends the request.

    setRequestHeaderlabel, value

    Adds a label/value pair to the HTTP header to be sent.

    XMLHttpRequest Properties
    onreadystatechange

    An event handler for an event that fires at every state change.


    readyState

    The readyState property defines the current state of the XMLHttpRequest object.

    The following table provides a list of the possible values for the readyState property:

    State Description

    0 The request is not initialized.

    1 The request has been set up.

    2 The request has been sent.

    3 The request is in process.

    4 The request is completed.

    readyState = 0 After you have created the XMLHttpRequest object, but before you have
    called the open method.

    readyState = 1 After you have called the open method, but before you have called send.

    readyState = 2 After you have called send.

    readyState = 3 After the browser has established a communication with the server, but
    before the server has completed the response.

    readyState = 4 After the request has been completed, and the response data has been
    completely received from the server.

    responseText

    Returns the response as a string.

    responseXML

    Returns the response as XML. This property returns an XML document object, which can be
    examined and parsed using the W3C DOM node tree methods and properties.

    status

    Returns the status as a number e. g. , 404for " NotFound " and200for " OK " .

    statusText

    Returns the status as a string e. g. , " NotFound " or " OK " .
