either to a configured URL, or to a URL specified at request time.</p>\r
<p>Requests made by this class are asynchronous, and will return immediately. No data from\r
the server will be available to the statement immediately following the <a href="output/Ext.data.Connection.html#Ext.data.Connection-request" ext:member="request" ext:cls="Ext.data.Connection">request</a> call.\r
To process returned data, use a\r
<a href="#request-option-success" ext:member="request-option-success" ext:cls="Ext.data.Connection">success callback</a>\r
in the request options object,\r
or an <a href="output/Ext.data.Connection.html#Ext.data.Connection-requestcomplete" ext:member="requestcomplete" ext:cls="Ext.data.Connection">event listener</a>.</p>\r
<p><h3>File Uploads</h3><a href="#request-option-isUpload" ext:member="request-option-isUpload" ext:cls="Ext.data.Connection">File uploads</a> are not performed using normal "Ajax" techniques, that\r
is they are <b>not</b> performed using XMLHttpRequests. Instead the form is submitted in the standard\r
manner with the DOM <tt>&lt;form></tt> element temporarily modified to have its\r
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/present/frames.html#adef-target">target</a> set to refer\r
to a dynamically generated, hidden <tt>&lt;iframe></tt> which is inserted into the document\r
but removed after the return data has been gathered.</p>\r
<p>The server response is parsed by the browser to create the document for the IFRAME. If the\r
server is using JSON to send the return object, then the\r
<a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.17">Content-Type</a> header\r
must be set to "text/html" in order to tell the browser to insert the text unchanged into the document body.</p>\r
<p>Characters which are significant to an HTML parser must be sent as HTML entities, so encode\r
"&lt;" as "&amp;lt;", "&amp;" as "&amp;amp;" etc.</p>\r
<p>The response text is retrieved from the document, and a fake XMLHttpRequest object\r
is created containing a <tt>responseText</tt> property in order to conform to the\r
requirements of event handlers and callbacks.</p>\r
<p>Be aware that file upload packets are sent with the content type <a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2388.html">multipart/form</a>\r
and some server technologies (notably JEE) may require some custom processing in order to\r
retrieve parameter names and parameter values from the packet content.</p></div><div class="hr"></div><a id="Ext.data.Connection-configs"></a><h2>Config Options</h2><table cellspacing="0" class="member-table"><tbody><tr><th colspan="2" class="sig-header">Config Options</th><th class="msource-header">Defined By</th></tr><tr class="config-row  "><td class="micon"><a href="#expand" class="exi">&nbsp;</a></td><td class="sig"><a id="Ext.data.Connection-autoAbort"></a><b><a href="source/Connection.html#cfg-Ext.data.Connection-autoAbort">autoAbort</a></b> : Boolean<div class="mdesc">Whether this request should abort any pending requests.

<br><p>While <i>some</i> ExtJs Component classes export selected DOM events (e.g. "click", "mouseover" etc), this
is usually only done when extra value can be added. For example the <a href="output/Ext.DataView.html" ext:cls="Ext.DataView">DataView</a>'s
<b><code><a href="output/Ext.DataView.html#Ext.DataView-click" ext:member="click" ext:cls="Ext.DataView">click</a></code></b> event passing the node clicked on. To access DOM
events directly from a Component's HTMLElement, listeners must be added to the <i><a href="output/Ext.Component.html#Ext.Component-getEl" ext:member="getEl" ext:cls="Ext.Component">Element</a></i> after the Component
has been rendered. A plugin can simplify this step:<pre><code><i>// Plugin is configured <b>with</b> a listeners config object.</i>
<i>// The Component is appended to the argument list of all handler functions.</i>
Ext.DomObserver = Ext.extend(Object, {
    constructor: <b>function</b>(config) {

    },

    <i>// Component passes itself into plugin&#39;s init method</i>
    init: <b>function</b>(c) {

            } <b>else</b> {
                l[p].fn = this.createHandler(l[p].fn, c);
            }

<b>Combining Options</b><br>
Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:<br>
<br>
A delayed, one-time listener.
<pre><code>myDataView.on(<em>'click'</em>, this.onClick, this, {
single: true,
delay: 100
});</code></pre>
<p>
<b>Attaching multiple handlers in 1 call</b><br>
The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties
which specify multiple handlers.
<p>
<pre><code>myGridPanel.on({
<em>'click'</em> : {
    fn: this.onClick,
    scope: this,
    delay: 100
},
<em>'mouseover'</em> : {
    fn: this.onMouseOver,
    scope: this
},
<em>'mouseout'</em> : {
    fn: this.onMouseOut,
    scope: this
}
});</code></pre>
<p>
Or a shorthand syntax:<br>
<pre><code>myGridPanel.on({
<em>'click'</em> : this.onClick,
<em>'mouseover'</em> : this.onMouseOver,
<em>'mouseout'</em> : this.onMouseOut,

<p>The server response is parsed by the browser to create the document for the IFRAME. If the\r

<p>The response text is retrieved from the document, and a fake XMLHttpRequest object\r

requirements of event handlers and callbacks.</p>\r
<p>Be aware that file upload packets are sent with the content type <a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2388.html">multipart/form</a>\r

retrieve parameter names and parameter values from the packet content.</p>\r
