dojo.io - Transport not defaulted to djConfig ioSendTransport param or kwArgs sendTransport param

[rnaidoo@…]

When creating a dojo.io.Request from keyword arguments, the sendTransport is used to determine the prefered transport mechanism. The argument in evaluated by the following line of code found in the fromKwArgs function :

kwArgs.sendTransport = dojo.lang.firstValued(kwArgssendTransport?, djConfigioSendTransport?, false);

Once the request is created the dojo.io.bind function evaluated the request's transport attribute to determine if a transport has been set. When not set, an attempt is made auto-detect the best transport.

if(requesttransport?){.........}

else{ otherwise we do our best to auto-detect what available transports will handle ..... }

Thus it is imposible to set the transport via keyword arguments or via the djConfig.

A simple fix would be just to change kwArgs.sendTransport to kwArgs.transport, i.e

kwArgs.transport = dojo.lang.firstValued(kwArgssendTransport?, djConfigioSendTransport?, false);

Those are two separate fields that do two different things:

sendTransport will send the transport that was used as part of the request parameters so the server can know if a transport was used and what type. It is a boolean value, true means the request parameter will be sent, false (the default) means that it won't.

transport is a way that you can override the auto-detection logic of which transport dojo.io.bind() will use. To override the transport, specify a string with the transport name.

Closing this bug for now (working as designed), but feel free to reopen with more info.
