Aborting an Ajax request

[Chao]

I originally mistakenly posted this under 3.0 help but I am actually using 2.0

I am wondering how does aborting an ajax request work internally, does it send another request to the server?

I am asking because I have a front end that is continuously refreshing a store by sending ajax request to my backend jsp with a certain set of parameters, without those parameters my back end jsp will crash, sometimes two consecutive store refreshes are too close to each other and it causes EXTJS to call abort on the first call, and for some reason, right after the abort call, my back end jsp receives a request that is WITHOUT any parameters...i am 99.999% sure that I don't have any code that's sending any requests without parameters, so my suspicion is with the abort call

any help is appreciated

thanks

No, aborting a request only aborts the client-side request.

The server is not notified and will still try to send a reply (that will be ignored by the browser because the request has been aborted).

Thanks for the reply, at the 3.0 help section, there was a reply talking about a known bug when when two requests overlap each other, would that cause one of the requests to drop its parameters somehow?

Requests without a parameter are usually caused by putting an autoLoad:true in a store and also using load().

I am using a JsonStore and I am not specifying autoLoad:true, is it true by default? Thanks for the help

No it isn't... And no, aborting a request doesn't send another request...

So, nothing left but debugging. Put a breakpoint on Ext.data.Connection.request and look at the callstack to see what is causing it.

Condor,

I did try to debug it, and it seems if I set a breakpoint on that line, every request is fine. I even tried putting an alert box in the Ext.data.Connection.request function like this, and the all the requests are fine, they all have the proper parameters, looks like a timing issue?

alert ('a little delay');
this.transId = Ext.lib.Ajax.request(method, url, cb, p, o);

Do NOT use alert() to debug (the extra wait this introduces changes the behaviour).

Use console.log() instead.

thanks! that's very helpful, let me debug it more
