XMLHttpRequest: XMLHttpRequest() constructor
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers, except for Service Workers.
The XMLHttpRequest() constructor
creates a new XMLHttpRequest.
Syntax
new XMLHttpRequest()
// Non-standard
new XMLHttpRequest(options)
Parameters
There are no standard parameters. However, Firefox allows a non-standard parameter:
options-
An object that can contain the following flags:
mozAnon-
A boolean. When setting this flag to
truewill cause the browser not to expose the origin and user credentials when fetching resources. Most important, this means that cookies will not be sent unless explicitly added usingsetRequestHeader. mozSystem-
A boolean. When setting this flag to
true, the same origin policy will not be enforced on the request.
Return value
A new XMLHttpRequest object. The object must be prepared by at least
calling open() to initialize it before calling
send() to send the request to the server.
