XMLHttpRequest-Shim

XMLHttpRequest shim to standarise the object across browsers.

Background

The original goal was to fill the shim gap left after using es5-shim, es6-shim and dom4-shim. A consistant, working XMLHttpRequest was still missing, which left me missing a key componant in some projects.

Status

Alpha! The main motivation is to fill the gaps needed in projects I currently use. Hence, there is no pressing need to pad-out the module to combat senerios I have not encountered or do not face. The aim is to have a fully working shim for all browers after IE8 (with maybe some basic cover pre-IE8). However, this is a long-term aim.

I very happy to look at pull requests and issues. I will try to give this attention and help with any issues.

Usage

you will need to download and include es5-shim, es6-shim and dom4-shim in your header before loading this.

Other Projects

The XHR2 project, has done a sterling job of creating shim with most of the bells and whistles. It is currently far more advanced than this solution. However, I could not get it to play well with es5-shim, es6-shim and dom4-shim. My goal is to create a shim to use alongside others rather than standalone.
