requestCrossOrigin method

Future<String> requestCrossOrigin (String url, { String method, String sendData })

Makes a cross-origin request to the specified URL.

This API provides a subset of request which works on IE9. If IE9 cross-origin support is not required then request should be used instead.

Implementation

static Future<String> requestCrossOrigin(String url,
    {String method, String sendData}) {
  if (supportsCrossOrigin) {
    return request(url, method: method, sendData: sendData).then((xhr) {
      return xhr.responseText;
    });
  }
  var completer = new Completer<String>();
  if (method == null) {
    method = 'GET';
  }
  var xhr = JS('var', 'new XDomainRequest()');
  JS('', '#.open(#, #)', xhr, method, url);
  JS(
      '',
      '#.onload = #',
      xhr,
      convertDartClosureToJS((e) {
        var response = JS('String', '#.responseText', xhr);
        completer.complete(response);
      }, 1));
  JS(
      '',
      '#.onerror = #',
      xhr,
      convertDartClosureToJS((e) {
        completer.completeError(e);
      }, 1));

  JS('', '#.onprogress = {}', xhr);
  JS('', '#.ontimeout = {}', xhr);
  JS('', '#.timeout = Number.MAX_VALUE', xhr);

  if (sendData != null) {
    JS('', '#.send(#)', xhr, sendData);
  } else {

  return completer.future;
