onreadystatechange in Opera 8

[Henri Sivonen]

It seems to me that Opera 8 does not support onreadystatechange with
POST. Is there any way to know the status of a POST in Opera 8? Is there
any forward-compatible way to detect the non-support?

I have tried a small example where an XML DOM document is being posted
asynchronously and Opera 8.00/Win gives readyState as 3, then 4 so
onreadystatechange is being called twice.

Thanks. It was my mistake. The real problem is that setRequestHeader is
not supported by Opera. I guess the app I'm working on is not going to
work Opera until this is fixed. I'm not going to move stuff that
naturally belongs in headers into payload just to work around an
incomplete impl. by one vendor.
