Hi, The Web API WG resolved yesterday to publish a Last Call Working Draft of The XMLHttpRequest Object specification. Thanks to the webmasters at the W3C it was published earlier today. Last Call comments can be made until 2 June 2008. (Please don't comment about the "befor" typo there. My mistake.) The draft is located here: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-XMLHttpRequest-20080415/ This is a rough list of the changes since the last published draft: * Removed dependency on DOM Level 3 Events * Removed dependency on Window Object 1.0 (we already depended on HTML 5 so we could use that instead) * Clearly marked which HTTP methods are to raise SECURITY_ERR * Mention HttpOnly in the security section * Accept-Language is set conditionally * Requests using a GET method will not have an entity body * responseText can no longer return null * responseText and responseXML no longer throw * Headers starting with Sec- will raise * getResponseHeader() will return null for invalid headers * getAllResponseHeaderS() returns empty string in case of failure A more detailed log of these changes, including links to the actual text changes, is available from dev.w3.org, here: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2006/webapi/XMLHttpRequest/Overview.html Happy times reviewing! Kind regards, -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
