First XHR request very slow in QML(javascript running on v8) - javascript

I have a QML page (Qt Quick 2) that makes an XHR request to an external server. Right now the server is running on my local machine and the first time this request is made it takes ~1.5 seconds. Each subsequent request is under 100ms.
When I make this same request using a browser I get a response in under 10ms everytime, so I know the problem isn't there.
Here is the offending code. Any ideas?
function login(key) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
var params = "Fob_num=" + key;
xhr.open("POST","http://localhost:9000/customer_login",true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if ( xhr.readyState == xhr.DONE) {
if ( xhr.status == 200) {
handleResponse(xhr.responseText);
} else {
console.log("error with login--status: " + xhr.status)
displayErr("Oops, something's wrong. Please try again.")
}
}
}
xhr.send(params);
}
The problem isn't with handleResponse() function, I've already tried replacing it with a console.log(“response”), and it still takes just as long. I also tried replacing localhost with my ip.

You may want to create a dummy XMLHttpRequest instance in a dummy QML component that you asynchronously load with a Loader. Just an idea. Perhaps creating the first XMLHttpRequest instance takes long?

How to everytime reload web, and get the newest data from back-end

What my purpose is below
Visting a web and the js.file in this web will load php file, and it will return data to html.
It's meaning every time when I reload web, I will get newest data.
I have try this in js.file
let XML = new XMLHttpRequest();
XML.open('post', url, true);
XML.send('mydata');
then use responseText to get data I want
Indeed, I don't need send any data.
I can do what I want to do, but I am not sure this way is right or not.
Because I think ajax should not use in this case, it must be send something and return something.
What you are saying is you only want to get data without sending anything which is called a http get request, you can do that as below.
function get(url)
{
var xm = new XMLHttpRequest();
// false for synchronous
xm.open("GET",url,false);
xm.send(null);
return xm.responseText;
}
console.log(get('your Url'));
You need to specify the url of your Http Endpoint ( Back-End ).
If your are making a asynchronous request then below code works,,
function get(theUrl, callback)
{
var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 && xmlHttp.status == 200)
callback(xmlHttp.responseText);
}
// true for asynchronous
xmlHttp.open("GET", theUrl, true);
xmlHttp.send(null);
}
get('your url',(responseText)=>{
console.log(responsetext);
});

Native ajax call does not redirect on 302

I have been googling for hours now. I've read a dozen "answers" on Stackoverflow, all of them using jQuery.
This is the common answer...
The ajax-request will follow that redirect afaik
Well, it doesn't.
I am trying to send a PUT from a form via native JS AJAX
[Please I beg you, don't tell me to use jQuery. I found a bug in jQuery via PUT
(1) so I'm going around it]
This is my code snippet...
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open(method, url);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
xhr.send(data);
xhr.onload = function (e) {
if (xhr.readyState === 4) {
if (xhr.status === 200) {
console.log(xhr.responseText);
} else {
console.error(xhr.statusText);
}
}
};
xhr.onerror = function (e) {
console.error(xhr.statusText);
};
This block works great, I can POST, PUT and DELETE without issues. The server receives the data and updates the DB according to the sent METHOD just fine.
My (SLIM based) PHP, upon successful completion, returns a 302 and a URL to go to.
This process works using POSTMAN hitting the PHP, and it goes to the right page.
Opening Chrome Tools/Network, it shows that the PHP is returning a 302 and than a 200
My response object contains the full HTML for a page in the responseText property.
Funny thing is, if I hard code a bad URL,the browser goes to my 404 page fine.
Your thoughts? (Please don't ask me or tell me to use jQuery)
EDIT/ADDENDUM -----------------------
I have discovered that the redirect is using the same METHOD of the original call.
I'm doing
PUT /user/1
the Redirect is doing
PUT http://myserver.test/
This is the right place to go. Now I understand the 405.
I don't have a PUT route defined, therefore the 405.
I create a PUT route and it works in POSTMAN but still gives me a 405 in Chrome and Firefox.
I have 2 issues to solve:
1) change the METHOD on the redirect
2) figure out why the browser doesn't like the 307
I found "a" solution. I'm not sure I like it, but...
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open(method, url);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
xhr.send(data);
xhr.onload = function (e) {
if (xhr.readyState === 4) {
window.location.replace(xhr.responseURL); // <---- solution
}
};

If HEAD-HTTP-Requests only fetch the HTTP-Header, why my XHR-request has a reponseText?

Today I researched about HTTP-methods and the differences between GET and HEAD in detail.
In theory I know, that HEAD only returns the HTTP header, not the HTTP body. Its useful to get information about ressources without downloading them completly.
I made a little Script using XHR to check out a HEAD-reques and tested it in Firefox 50.0.2.
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/oYqGMQ
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.addEventListener("readystatechange", function () {
if (req.readyState === 4 && req.status === 200) {
alert("got response \n" + req.responseText);
}
}, false);
req.open("HEAD", location.href, true); // this is a HEAD-request, why I get a responseText?
req.send();
Why the HEAD-Request receives the complete data in the reponseText-property? I thought HEAD-Request will not receive any data of the body.
I can't see any difference between HEAD and GET.
Am I missing a point? I am using Firefox.

XHR status 0, readystate 1 on localhost

Working on my own project. I'm sending an XMLHttpRequest to localhost from Firefox 44 to XAMPP. I'm receiving a status of 0 and a readystate of 1. Here's the code in question.
function sendReq(php,segment){
alert("sendreq called ");
//we out here getting 0 statuses. check out cwd, check out what php value is,
xhr.open("POST", php, true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xhr.onreadystatechange = getData(segment);
xhr.send();
}
//callback function for ajax request.
function getData(div){
if ((xhr.readyState == 4) && (xhr.status == 200))
{
var serverResponse = xhr.responseText;
div.innerHTML = serverResponse;
}else{
div.innerHTML = "<p>loading!</p> ready state: " + xhr.readyState +"</br> status: "+ xhr.status;
}
}
I've read elsewhere the RS:1 / S:0 XHR properties indicate a unsuccessful cross domain request, but this is all occuring on localhost, with the files all in the same directory, and when inspecting the XHR response in Firebug, the return text is in there.
I've built a login to this page almost identical code and it works, its only pointing to a different .php file. Comparing the two and googling around are not enlightening me. So any advice is welcome. Thanks!
You're executing the getData() function once, on pageload, and returning undefined to the onreadystatechange handler, as that's what happens when you add the parentheses.
It has to be either
xhr.onreadystatechange = getData;
Note the lack of parentheses, or if you have to pass arguments
onreadystatechange = function() {
getData(segment);
}

facebook graph api ajax XMLHttpRequest - Null result?

Summary: Keep getting null response despite public data and setting callback to enable cross domain JSON. Please help!
A similar question has been answered here
Using the new facebook graph api, ajax calls returns null (empty)
but I'm not using jquery and have tried to adapt my code to reflect that answer.
I'm trying to use a simple example to test a simple xmlhttprequest handler. I have this link in my page:
<a href='javascript:loadXMLDoc(\"https://graph.facebook.com/btaylor?callback=methodname\",\"\")'>AJAX LINK</a>
The callback=methodname parameter is to enable cross domain JSON
I'm using a generic XMLhttprequest builder:
var req; // Request object
function loadXMLDoc(url,params){
// branch for native XMLHttpRequest object
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange;
req.open("GET", url, true);
req.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
req.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
req.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
req.send(params);
// branch for IE/Windows ActiveX version
} else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
if (req) {
req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange;
req.open("GET", url, true);
req.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
req.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
req.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
req.send(params);
}
}
}
I then have a handler :
function processReqChange(){
if (req.readyState == 4) {
if (req.status == 200) {
alert("Done");
} else {
//alert("There was a problem retrieving the data:\n" + req.statusText);
alert("Status Code = "+req.status);
alert("There was a problem retrieving the data:\n");
alert("Failed : object = "+req);
alert(req.responseXML);
alert("Failed : response = "+req.responseText);
alert("Failed : status = "+req.statusText);
}
}else{
}
}
But I keep getting a null response (statusText OK, status code 0). Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
You can't make a cross-domain ajax request. Look into whether or not they support JSONP, or use the FB.api method from their javascript SDK
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.api
EDIT: I didn't read your post very thoroughly when I replied.
I see that you're adding the callback name to your ajax request, which isn't going to do any good because you're still making an XHR request, so it will still fail cross-domain. You seem to be misunderstanding how JSONP works.
Normally I'd just suggest using a framework like jQuery to abstract out the work that you shouldn't have to reinvent. If you're absolutely dedicated to doing this without jQuery, start by reading the wikipedia article on how JSONP works:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON#JSONP
The basic idea is:
Create a script node where the src attribute looks just like the URL you're trying to request now.
The server will respond with something like : methodname({"foo": "bar"}); instead of just JSON. Since this is being requested via a script node, your browser will execute the "methodname" function and pass in the results.
implement methodname(response) function to handle the response (i.e. do the work you intended to do in processReqChange)
Remove this line and try again:
req.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
It sets up the connection to close automatically, often before the send is complete.
