Fire and Forget requests using jQuery
I have some non-critical logging messages I want to send from
browsers.
I don't want the browser to wait for a response, or use up an
available xhr channel.
The rest of the app is jQuery talking to a webservice on the server.
XMLHTTP is, as far as I know, a protocol that assumes you want a
response and has no mechanism for fire and forget. I could set up
JavaScript code that aborted the xhr, maybe on status changed, but
that seems kludgy.
As far as I know, there is no native jQuery way to send a "fire and
forget" message.
What ways are suggested to achieve this, preferably using jQuery?
