Hi, I occasionally have had to deal live XML feeds over HTTP The server continuously sent HTTP chunks during the lifetime of the HTTP connection, meaning, until the client close the connection. I used a SAX JS lib and, on readystate === 3, had to continuously check body changes via a setInterval callback. While the body started to be too big, I also had to create a new request and close the previous one once the new connection was ready (and of course I had to take care of potential duplicates) Other Comet technics could have been used, but I already have hard time to get at least this option Of course, today, I'd do my best to ask for Web Socket of Server-Sent Event alternatives, but I'm not sure I would have get it in the same situation. With XHR2, I wondered if there could be a way to not full the body property but receive the content in some 'chunk' event.data property I wonder now if such fetch API could be a better place to manage such use case Regards, Alexandre Morgaut Wakanda Community Manager 4D SAS 60, rue d'Alsace 92110 Clichy France Standard : +33 1 40 87 92 00 Email : Alexandre.Morgaut@4d.com Web : www.4D.com
