I'd like of to use the XMLHTTPRequest with POST
method, all navigators the support this?
IE 5 (and later) on Windows have Microsoft.XMLHTTP which
can do POST requests and allows to set HTTP request headers,
Mozilla since 1.0 has XMLHttpRequest and allows the same,
Opera since 8.00 has XMLHttpRequest support but only since
8.01 supports setting HTTP request headers. Safari 1.2 and
later also supports XMLHttpRequest.
For completeness, it might be worth mentioning that ICESoft Technologies
Inc sent me a press release earlier in the week that implies that
IceBrowser 6 now has an xml http request facility. Though they did not
go into any details (just threw buzzwords like AJAX about and trumpeted
support for it), and particularly they did not say if it would be using
the browser's native ActiveXObject constructor (in the IE style) or
whether they had added a Mozilla style XMLHttpRequest constructor (or
both).
With Safari development feeding back into Konqueror, it should not be
long before that browser also provides the facility.
