  • QML's XMLHttpRequest does not enforce the same origin policy.

Additionally, the responseXML XML DOM tree currently supported by QML is a reduced subset of the DOM Level 3 Core API supported in a web browser. The following objects and properties are supported by the QML implementation:

Node Document Element Attr CharacterData Text
  • nodeName
  • nodeValue
  • nodeType
  • parentNode
  • childNodes
  • firstChild
  • lastChild
  • previousSibling
  • nextSibling
  • attributes
  • xmlVersion
  • xmlEncoding
  • xmlStandalone
  • documentElement
  • tagName
  • name
  • value
  • ownerElement
  • data
  • length
  • isElementContentWhitespace

The XMLHttpRequest example demonstrates how to use the XMLHttpRequest object to make a request and read the response headers.
