ajax comet

There are a number of ways to implement Ajax and Comet, and these underlying implementations
are sometimes known as transports.

有不少方法能够实现ajax和comet，这些底层实现有时叫作transports.

 

The <img> element, for example,
has a src property. When a script sets this property to a URL, an HTTP GET request
is initiated to download an image from that URL.

例如，<img>元素有一个src属性。当脚本设置它的属性为一个URL时，一个HTTP GET请求被建立，来从这个URL上下载图像。

 

A script can therefore pass information
to a web server by encoding that information into the query-string portion of the
URL of an image and setting the src property of an <img> element.

脚本能够向服务器传送信息，经过把那些信息编码成图像URL的查询字符串的一部分，和设置<img>元素的src属性。

 

The web server must
actually return some image as the result of this request, but it can be invisible: a transparent
1-pixel-by-1-pixel image, for instance.

服务器必须返回一些图像，做为这个请求的结果，可是它能够不可见：例如一张透明图片。
