Does IE6 support XMLHttpRequest.abort ()?

Do I understand correctly that the abort () method for XMLHttpRequest objects is only available with MSIE 7? If so, what equivalent option do I have for interrupting an XMLHttpRequest object during a timeout in MSIE 6?

Using a JS framework to abstract the problem is not an option at this time, I'm afraid :( I am in a legacy system that is close to the production deadline.

In IE6, you create the MSXML HTTPRequest instance manually, so it all depends on which version you are using.

abort is implemented in MSXML 3.0 and later . In other words, if you can use this or later (instead of 2.0 or 2.6), you can use interrupt.

As far as I know, IE6 should use MSXML 3.0 when nothing is specified ( http://blogs.msdn.com/xmlteam/archive/2006/10/23/using-the-right-version-of-msxml-in-internet -explorer.aspx seems to confirm this), so it should work out of the box, but I can't check it right now, since I don't have access to the IE6 machine.

I would look at a framework like jQuery for doing http requests using javascript. They perfectly abstract from browser differences.

Given that IE does not actually support XMLHttpRequest, but Microsoft.XMLHTTP and various related tastes are interrupted, the response is available depending on the instance of the object that I consider.
