Connection Manager: Examples

The YUI Connection Manager provides support for XMLHttpRequest transactions using a convenient interface normalized across the A-Grade browsers. Connection Manager also supports file uploads using the same interface.

• Connection Manager GET Transaction: Uses Connection Manager to demonstrate an HTTP GET request.
• Connection Manager POST Transaction: Explores the use of HTTP POST to send data to the server and retrieve the server's response.
• Connection Manager Transaction Timeout: Connection Manager's built-in transaction timeout feature allows you to abort requests that are too slow in returning data.
• Retrieving a Yahoo! Weather RSS Feed: Demonstrates how to retrieve XML data from a web service and make use of that information within the page.
• Cross-Domain Transactions with Connection Manager: This example demonstrates a cross-domain request using the alternate Flash transport.
• Subscribing to Connection Manager Global Events: Subscribe to Custom Events for an aspect-oriented approach to managing transactions and response data.
• Subscribing to Connection Manager's Custom Events via the Callback Object: Target and handle Custom Events for specific transactions using the callback object.
