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 (

*** 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
