• The errors produced when the URL passed to open is from the wrong site/port/etc. are now DOMException objects. • The open method now clears the responseText and the request headers. • The send method now raises a readystatechange event on sending (without changing the readyState) and for the â€^~loadingâ€^TM state (3). • The setRequestHeader method now dies when called at a time other than between open and send.
• setRequestHeader now throws a syntax error when the arguments do not conform to HTTP syntax.
• The send method no longer runs scripts on HTML pages that it fetches.
• setRequestHeader now ignores certain HTTP headers for the sake of security and HTTP compliancy.
• The send method now dies when the readyState is not OPENED or when it is called recursively.
• Assigning null to onreadystatechange no longer causes warnings and errors during event dispatch.
• The argument to the send method is now ignored for GET and HEAD requests.
