Package Exports

node-http-xhr

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (node-http-xhr) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

An implementation of XMLHttpRequest for node.js using the http.request API.

Motivation

Usage

// Standalone usage

// Event handlers via .on${event} properties:
req.onreadystatechange = function() {
  console.log('readyState: ' + req.readyState);
};

// or using .addEventListener(event, handler):
req.addEventListener('load', function() {
  console.log('response: ' + req.response);

Known issues

Currently, some features are lacking:

Some ProgressAPI events (loadstart, loadend, progress)
responseType values other than '' or 'text' and corresponding parsing
- As a result of the above, overrideMimeType() isn't very useful
