Connection Manager Release Notes



*** version 0.11.0 ***



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

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

hasn't 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 ***
