XMLHTTP 资源锦囊(中英对照)
XMLHTTP linkdump
Since XMLHTTP is becoming more and more important I thought I'd create a linkdump, both for my own future reference and for other developers. Additions and comments will be gratefully accepted.
XMLHTTP 正变得越来越重要，为了给我和广大开发人员在日后的应用中做参考，我创建了这个资源锦囊，欢迎大家一起来参与评论并丰富它。
1. Since XMLHTTP is a Microsoft invention, let's start at the source: the MSDN IXMLHTTPRequest detail page. As far as I know all browsers support the methods and properties mentioned here. (And what does the I mean? I have no idea.)
Link subject to sudden death, as are all MSDN links.
XMLHTTP 最先由微软引入，让我们从它的发源地开始: the MSDN IXMLHTTPRequest detail page。就我所知，这里论及了所有浏览器都支持的方法和属性。（我的意思是什么，我也不明白。）
链接有时会不通，MSDN常常这样。
2. To restore the equilibrium, let's take a look at the nsIXMLHttpRequest Interface Reference, which, one assumes, gives current and correct information about Mozilla's take on XMLHTTP. Nonetheless I found to my chagrin that some Mozilla documents portray an ideal situation instead of the actual current state of affairs. Use with some care.
兼顾到 Mozilla，我们再看看 nsIXMLHttpRequest Interface Reference，对于Mozilla实现的XMLHTTP，我愿意相信该文档提供了当前状态的和正确的信息。但很遗憾我发现部分Mozilla的文档常常描绘一个理想状态下的情形而非实情，所以使用的时候要注意。
3. A second Mozilla-centric list of methods and properties, slightly more documented than the previous one, can be found at XULPLanet's XMLHTTPRequest pages.
Mozilla 相关的第二站点，比上个链接文档丰富一点点。XULPLanet's XMLHTTPRequest pages。
4. The most complete, though somewhat technical, description of XMLHTTP can be found at AppleDev's Dynamic HTML and XML: The XMLHttpRequest Object article written by Danny Goodman. One assumes all described methods and properties are tested in Safari.
最完整和专业的文档可以从以下链接找到 AppleDev's Dynamic HTML and XML: The XMLHttpRequest Object。该文档由Danny Goodman 撰写，可以认为该文描述的方法和属性是经过了 Safari 的测试的。
