Одно решение, поддерживающее более старые браузеры:
function httpRequest() {
var ajax = null,
response = null,
self = this;
this.method = null;
this.url = null;
this.async = true;
this.data = null;
this.send = function() {
ajax.open(this.method, this.url, this.asnyc);
ajax.send(this.data);
};
if(window.XMLHttpRequest) {
ajax = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if(window.ActiveXObject) {
try {
ajax = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0");
}
catch(e) {
try {
ajax = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0");
}
catch(error) {
self.fail("not supported");
}
}
}
if(ajax == null) {
return false;
}
ajax.onreadystatechange = function() {
if(this.readyState == 4) {
if(this.status == 200) {
self.success(this.responseText);
}
else {
self.fail(this.status + " - " + this.statusText);
}
}
};
}
Возможно, немного перебор, но вы определенно будете в безопасности с этим кодом.
Использование:
//create request with its porperties
var request = new httpRequest();
request.method = "GET";
request.url = "https://example.com/api?parameter=value";
//create callback for success containing the response
request.success = function(response) {
console.log(response);
};
//and a fail callback containing the error
request.fail = function(error) {
console.log(error);
};
//and finally send it away
request.send();
