gracefully handle the case where xmlhttprequest is not available in PCIE

gracefully handle the case where xmlhttprequest is not available in PCIE because ActiveX has been turned off as a security precaution (not entirely uncommon in a buttoned-down corporate IT environment)

We'll need to implement an IFRAME transport for this. There's been multiple requests for this so we need to sit down and brainstorm possible solutions to see what we can and can't do.

The IFrame transport is now implemented, but not included by default when you require("dojo.io.*");. Perhaps the package file should run a test and load it if ActiveX is dissabled?

please resolve, it's over a year old.

"Perhaps the package file should run a test and load it if ActiveX is dissabled?"... that's not a joke, is it? Wouldn't you need IFrameIO included into dojo.js in order to be able to download anything, including IFrameIO.js?

Not necessarialy. If it's IE 7, the native service will still be available. OTOH, I do see your point. The question at this point is "how much do we care about this use case?". Today, users can manage this manually and they won't be as surprised by the potential results, and that might be a good enough answer.

IE 7 does the right thing and 0.9+ removes the magical negotiation. Marking "wontfix".
