I want to display the request response as it is being received as it may take several seconds for it to complete. I read that it is 'unsafe' somewhere to use type 3, is that in the case of certain browsers? thanks.

  • Do you know *where* you read that? – Bergi Jun 01 '13 at 14:21

  • It doesn't say "unsafe", it says "maybe unsupported". You can try to read the `responseText` from a state 3 request, and if you're lucky you get something to work with. Or you don't. – Bergi Jun 01 '13 at 14:27
