Where is XMLHttpRequest.responseStream defined?
Take a look at the graphics
part of the GoogleAPI link . He says he loadImage
takes either property string
or responseStream
for XMLHttp
. Poe XMLHttp
, I guess what that means XMLHttpRequest
.
My problem is that I cannot find any documentation for this field (field responseStream
) anywhere. I had no luck finding (ironc), it's not in JavaScript: The Ultimate Guide ... but these gadgets that use it seem to work.
This post says that responseStream doesn't seem to be available from the XMLHttpRequest browser. What is it from? Is it just a Google Desktop app?

Not at all, IIRC it was originally developed by Microsoft and has been part of IE since v5.0 (not sure about other browsers).
See XMLHttpRequest on the W3C page or Google's answer .
EDIT . Finally, I found the article I was reading: MSDN> MSXML 2.0
responseStream
If you are requesting binary data, then the responseStream attribute contains the response data in the binary stream.
