Refactoring: XMLHttpRequest.open() should have all overloaded implementations

• Component: DOM
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Hajime Morrita]

Currently XMLHTTPRequest::open() miss a overloaded method that W3C IDL has, and glue code emulate that overload. 
We should have XMLHTTPRequest::open(method, url, ec) to comprehend overloads 
to eliminate vague overload emulation from each glues (both JSC and V8).

[Hajime Morrita]

correct component.

Looking good. You probably also want to include a fix to V8HttpXMLRequestCustom in this patch.

I think Dimitri Glazkov or Nate Chapin would want to review this.

v2; added v8 binding change

+        No new tests. No functional change.

This is not accurate. This patch changes the behavior of open("GET", url, undefined) - we used to treat the last argument as false, and now it's true. This may or may not be desired, depending on what the spec says, and what other browsers do. It also changes the behavior of open("GET", url, undefined, user, password), in a way that seems clearly incorrect.

Regardless of whether you decide to keep or drop this change, please add a regression test that would have caught it.

An existing test xmlhttprequest/basic-auth.html covers undefined and missing values for user/password, and the patch seems to be fine in this regard.

[Yaar Schnitman]

http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#the-open-method says that the default for async is true. However, when async is passed, anything other then JS true should be treated as false. You should omit the !args.at(2).isUndefined() checks to achieve that effect.

I fixed that problem and added the test case for it.

Does this test fully pass in Firefox?

Expecting exactly two req.onreadystatechange events seems fragile. Perhaps you could just check readyState or status after calling send()?

Code changes look good to me.

True!
And I fixed it to pass also on FF.
Thanks.

> +PASS: if async argument is something defined, send() should behave like as async=true

This is not what the current code implements. The argument is converted to boolean, so e.g. null or "" become false.

Please change "if async argument is something defined, send() should behave like as async=true" to "if async argument is a non-empty string, send() should behave like as async=true", because that's what the subtest verifies. One can make this change when landing, or you could submit a new patch if you want to use commit-queue.
