Sunava -
My bad. I could've sworn there was a page that mentioned that the
native object only supported GET, POST and HEAD. This would've been
around August time frame. Did this get changed before the final
release of IE7? I guess I'm just getting old :-).
Note that the Microsoft page describing the call does have the words
'subset of HTTP verbs', but I guess from that its talking about the
lack of support for CONNECT and TRACE.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Cheers,
- Bill

Hi Sunava -
It should be made clear that these methods work *only* with IE's
'ActiveX' http object. The new built-in IE7 'native XMLHttpRequest'
object has the following restrictions, according to the Microsoft
website:
- Limited to GET, POST and HEAD HTTP verbs
- Limited to http:// or https:// protocols
- Limited to same port, host and domain

This is fantastic, we took a look at the working draft and it looks
great.
The IE team's looking forward to seeing it published!
Good to hear.
Are you actually planning to implement it? Such as support for WebDAV
method names? (remember that's a SHOULD-level requirement).
Best regards, Julian
