AJAX window.location .href.indexOf(" http")==-1)

[whisher]

Hi.
Sorry to disturb you but I can't
figure out its use in this snippet
(Found in many scripts about Ajax)
function loadpage(page_r equest, containerid)
{
if (page_request.r eadyState == 4 && (page_request.s tatus==200 ||
window.location .href.indexOf(" http")==-1))
{
document.getEle mentById(contai nerid).innerHTM L=page_request. responseText;
}
}
Can you enlighten me ?
Thanks in advance ;)
Bye.

its in case you want to run the script locally.

window.location .href.indexOf(" http")==-1

I haven't seen this before, but this part of the statement will be true
if the url of the requesting page does not contain the string "http".
Shimmyshack is probably right, because if you're running the script in
an HTML page locally on your computer, then it won't have "http" in the
URL, it'll be something like "C:/..." whatever.

And if you are running it locally the readyState will never be 200.

Also checking for the constant "200" isn't nice in my opinion, because
what defines the status is just the first digit of the code, the others
act as a kind of sub-status.

Are you proposing that HTTP status 200 (OK) should be handled the same
way as 201 (Created), 204 (No Content) or 202 (Accepted)?

Thanks a lot buddies.
It's quite clear to me.
But I also found this Ajax library
and to check the status it's use
a boolean var.
function XHConn()
{
var xmlhttp, bComplete = false;
try { xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject(" Msxml2.XMLHTTP" ); }
catch (e) { try { xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject(" Microsoft.XMLHT TP"); }
catch (e) { try { xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest( ); }
catch (e) { xmlhttp = false; }}}
if (!xmlhttp) return null;
this.connect = function(sURL, sMethod, sVars, fnDone)
{
if (!xmlhttp) return false;
bComplete = false;
sMethod = sMethod.toUpper Case();

try {
if (sMethod == "GET")
{
xmlhttp.open(sM ethod, sURL+"?"+sVars, true);
sVars = "";
}
else
{
xmlhttp.open(sM ethod, sURL, true);
xmlhttp.setRequ estHeader("Meth od", "POST "+sURL+" HTTP/1.1");

xmlhttp.setRequ estHeader("Cont ent-Type","applicat ion/x-www-form-urlencoded");
}
xmlhttp.onready statechange = function(){
//HERE -------------!bComplete-------------
if (xmlhttp.readyS tate == 4 && !bComplete)
{
bComplete = true;
fnDone(xmlhttp) ;
}};
xmlhttp.send(sV ars);
}
catch(z) { return false; }
return true;
};
return this;
}
var myConn = new XHConn();

if (!myConn) alert("XMLHTTP not available. Try a newer/better
browser.");

var fnWhenDone = function (pXML) { alert(pXML.resp onseText); };

myConn.connect( "test.txt", "GET","",fnWhen Done);
Is it the same case or not ?

Bye.

if XMLHttpRequeste d file is ready ( =4 )
and
- all was OK on server ( =200)
- or file actually displayed *is* from http
in this case : all was not OK
and error (responseText) will be shown in div 'contaierid'

{
document.getEle mentById(contai nerid).innerHTM L=page_request. responseText;
}
}

No, you handle them the way you want, I just said that if the response
doesn't have the status 200, it doesn't mean that it failed.

I'm with you Jonas,

I often use 204 (no content) to quickly stop the browser in its tracks
whilst still having a client-server interaction, and 206 (partial
content) to add to previously buffered output from the server.

At the moment many of the checks and balances buried inside the
libraries only reflect a basic implementation and imho as ajax gets
more mature, we will see these libraries reflecting the full rfc's in
many of these areas, such as HTTP.
