Project description
A Collection of advanced and experimental IO modules:
* scriptFrame.js - Uses an iframe for dojo.io.script requests. Useful in some
long-polling comet situations in Firefox and Opera. Those browsers execute scripts
in DOM order, not network-receive order, so a long-polling script will block other
dynamically appended scripts from running until it completes. By using an iframe
for the dojo.io.script requests, this issue can be avoided.
* xhrMultiPart.js - Constructs multi-part mime XHR requests. Useful when wanting
multi-part requests but not using a form with a file input. Note that it does not
allow you to send files from local disks -- a form with a file input is required
for that use case. xhrMultipart is not useful in that use case.
* xhrPlugins.js - An adapter registry for having multiple XHR handlers (like
XDomainRequest, CS-XHR, proxy, and window.name)
* windowName.js - Cross-domain transport using window.name
xhrWindowNamePlugin.js - window.name plugin for XHR adapter registry
* httpParse.js - HTTP message parser. Parses to an XHR like interface.
* OAuth.js - Object to be used for signing OpenAuth requests. Includes easy
wrappers for xhr.

Dependencies:
DojoX IO xhrMultiPart depends on Dojo Core and DojoX UUID's generateRandomUuid
function.
xhrWindowNamePlugin depends on dojox.secure.capability for safe JSON parsing
OAuth depends on dojox.encoding.digests.SHA1.
