Author xmlRequest.onprogress questions
Michael Vincent van Rantwijk

What properties are there for:

xmlRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlRequest.onprogress = onXMLProgress <-

onXMLProgress: function(aEvent)
{
aEvent.target points to the request, but what else can I use?
How do I get the progress percentage and total size?
}

Thank you,
Michael

The progress event is defined in the DOM load/save spec. You can use:

position
totalSize

Thanks, but I tried that already. I used something like:

xmlRequest.onprogress = function(aEvent)
{
dump("\naEvent : " + aEvent +
"\nposition : " + aEvent.position +
"\ntotalSize: " + aEvent.totalSize);
}
xmlRequest.open("GET", url);

and the output is this:

aEvent : [object XMLHttpProgressEvent]
position : undefined
totalSize: undefined

so now what?

Hm... does it help to explicitly QI aEvent to nsIDOMLSProgressEvent?

Eh, how? Like this:

aEvent.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIDOMLSProgressEvent).position

Tanks,

Can't help with your problem but I am wondering since when onprogress
works at all, I do not even get it fired with a Firefox 1.5 beta
nightly. Is onprogress a new feature on the trunk only?

No problem, and it's not a trunk only (new) think.

BTW: it should get triggered with:

xmlRequest.onprogress = function(aEvent) {}
xmlRequest.open("GET", url) ?

but it will fail when you use:

xmlRequest.open("GET", url) ?
xmlRequest.onprogress = function(aEvent) {}

I only hope this helps,

I got this error:

Error: [JavaScript Error: "[Exception... "Could not convert JavaScript
argument (NULL value cannot
be used for a C++ reference type) arg 0 [nsISupports.QueryInterface]"
nsresult:
"0x8057000b (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS_NULL_REF)" location: "JS frame
:: ...

so I checked nsIDOMLSProgressEvent but that is undefined!

and the output for this:

dump("\nnsIDOMEvent: " + Components.interfaces.nsIDOMEvent);
dump("\nnsIDOMLSProgressEvent: +
Components.interfaces.nsIDOMLSProgressEvent);

is this:

nsIDOMEvent: nsIDOMEvent
nsIDOMLSProgressEvent: undefined

in SeaMonkey build 2005092006

I hope this helps,

Hmm. Do you have a dom_loadsave.xpt file in the GRE\components directory?

I copied this file from a ZIP file (thanks to Phil) into the component
directory and removed compreg.dat / xpti.dat and restarted SeaMonkey,
and now everything works as expected. So why isn't this file part of the
'normal' SeaMonkey builds?

Should probably file a bug on this...
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302444 was supposed to fix
this.
