Code Snippet ;p

<taken from me on Chatspot site

Here is the latest Chatspot revision note:

Changeset [178] by Techboy
I did something with the xmlhttprequest stuff - I think it's pretty clever :P The XMLHTTPRequest would always output the response to browser even if it wasnt actually a poll. So - when HTTP returns a response it has a status number at the top of the header. I used this status number to tell the library what Chatspot was returning. HTTP/1.1 999 Chatspot Poll OK :)



So, here's what the XMLHTTPRequest library code for that is:

In the file where the response is generated and returned:

Code:

---


****if ($_GET['action']=='poll') *

****{

 *header('HTTP/1.1 999 Chatspot Poll OK');

 *// Your code here

****}

---

In the XMLHTTPRequest Jscript:

Code:

---


****// We choose what we do depending on the "error" code the reqlib returns - clever huh? :> *

****if (req.status == 999) // Polling *

****{

 *// What we do on a poll goes here

****}

---

Hope somebody finds that useful :P

Does it bake you waffles? no? stfu.

lol nah joking. It seems clever, but what does it really do... like in Normal english? ^__^

Well, in chatspot 3, whenever the server replied to you, it just echoed it to the browser, as a message.

This makes sure it only echoes messages. Without any weirdo hard to code stuff. :P
