Connection Manager Release Notes



*** version 0.12.1 ***



* connection-debug.js corrected and synchronized with connection.js.  Code

inconsistencies between the two files existed in 0.12.0.



*** version 0.12.0 ***



* When uploading files via setForm() and asyncRequest includes a POST data

argument, appendPostData() will create hidden input fields for each postData

label/value and append each field to the form object.



* setForm() returns the assembled label/value string of the parsed HTML form

fields.



* NOTE: Opera 9.02 does not allow for more than 12 concurrent Connection Manager

objects.



The following example creates 12 requests in a loop:

for(var n=0; n<=12; i++){

  conn[n] = YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest('GET', sUrl, callback);

}



If n > 13, Opera 9.02 will crash.  Connection manager objects count n must be <=

12 at all times.  This condition was not present in Opera version 9.01.



This condition does not apply to other A-Grade browsers (

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/gbs/gbs_browser-chart.html)



*** version 0.11.3 ***



* YUI Event dependency for file uploading is now optional.



* uploadFile() now sets unique IDs for each file upload transaction to prevent

iframe collisions with parallel uploads.



* The callback object now has property responseXML to provide support for file

upload transactions that return an XML document.



* setForm() will verify if a select option value attribute is present and use

its value, including empty string, before using the text node value.



* Modified polling mechanism in handleReadyState() and

handleTransactionResponse() to prevent infinite polling if JavaScript errors

occur in the user-defined callback.



* createFrame() will now accept a boolean argument of true to set the frame

source to "javascript:false" to prevent IE from throwing security warnings in an

HTTPS environment.



* setHeader() now enumerates through the _http_header object using

hasOwnProperty() to prevent collisions with members added to Object via

prototype.



* If using setForm() and asyncRequest includes a POST data argument, the data

will be concatenated to the HTML form POST message.



*** version 0.11.2 ***



* No revisions.



*** version 0.11.1 ***



* uploadFile() now verifies the existence of callback.upload before invoking

callback, with or without object scope.



*** version 0.11.0 ***



* Each transaction can be defined with a timeout threshold, in milliseconds,

through the callback object.  If the threshold is reached, and the transaction

hasn't yet completed, the transaction will call abort().



* abort() will now accept a callback object as the second argument.  The

failure callback will receive a response object to indicate the transaction was

aborted.



* setForm() will now support file uploads by setting the second argument to

true (e.g., YAHOO.util.Connect.setForm(formObject, true).  File upload does not

use the callback success or failure handler.  Instead, it uses a new callback

object handler: upload.



* HTML form submit will no longer submit form fields without a defined name

attribute.



* The default POST header of 'Content-Type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded'

can be overridden by calling setDefaultPostHeader(false).  This

will remove the default header from non-HTML form, POST submissions.



* setHeader() now enumerates through the _http_header object with

propertyIsEnumerable to prevent collisions with members added to Object via

prototype.



*** version 0.10.0 ***



* handleTransactionResponse() now treats the full HTTP 2xx range as a success

case, instead of just HTTP 200.



* To accommodate multiple field values in Mozilla/Firefox, multiple initHeader

calls with the same label will now result in the values concatenated to a

comma- delimited string value.

Example:

Setting Content-Type:'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' and Content-

Type:'text/xml' will result in Content-Type:'application/x-www-form-urlencoded,

text/xml'.



* Default polling interval lowered to 50ms.



* YAHOO.util.Connect.setPollingInterval() will allow you to set a polling

interval -- in milliseconds -- to override the default value.



* YAHOO.util.Connect.getResponseHeader[headerLabel] now supported as a response

object property to provide symmetry with the native XHR object's property.

Example:

YAHOO.util.Connect.getResponseHeader['Content-Length'] will return the value

for the Content-Length header, if the header is available.



* YAHOO.util.Connect.allResponseHeaders property renamed to

getAllResponseHeaders to provide symmetry with the native XHR object's

property.



* YAHOO.util.Connect.setForm() now supports HTTP GET as well as HTTP POST.



* YAHOO.util.Connect.setForm() now accepts an HTML form object as well as its

name attribute value.



* YAHOO.util.Connect.setForm() will not submit HTML form fields that are

disabled or do not have a name attribute value.



* [FIXED] Response exceptions result in infinite callback loop in

Mozilla/Firefox.



* [FIXED] YAHOO.util.Connect.abort() now properly clears polling interval.



* [FIXED] isCallInProgress() now verifies whether XHR instance still exists,

and returns false if the connection object is no longer available.



*** version 0.9.0 ***



* Initial release
