prototype = new XMLHttpRequest()? why not?

[Piotr K]

Ok, all over the internet people are creating "wrapper" object over
XMLHttpRequest rather then prototyping it and I wonder why, are there
any drawbacks for this method? I couldn't find much info about it on
google..

Thanks for replies

I don't think IE6 will allow you to protoype the xmlhttprequest
object. I don't know about IE7's native object.

It's worse than that: IE6 doesn't even /have/ an XMLHttpRequest object
as a property of the global object. IOW, there isn't anything to
"prototype" . And looking at IE behaviour for other host objects, it's
doubtful you can usefully extend XMLHttpRequest' s prototype on IE7,
though I haven't tried it.
