i have a page that make 10 - 20 ajax request to load data from background. But as i look in mozilla developer tools network status, even all request is shown, processed request still run in fifo
you can see my network status screenshot
here
fyi, this is internal request and not cross-platform request and i use laravel 5.5 for application and axios to make ajax request
is this kind of flow (request executed in fifo order) is normal in async request?
or maybe i need to set something in my web server?
Thanks

I currently have a problem where I send an asynchronous ajax request to a .NET controller in order to start a database search. This request makes it to the server which kicks off the search and immediately (less than a second) replies to the callback with a search ID, at which point I begin sending ajax requests every 10 seconds to check if the search has finished. This method works fine, and has been tested successfully with multiple users sending simultaneous requests.
If I send a second search request from the same user before the first search is finished, this call will not make it to the controller endpoint until after the first search has completed, which can take up to a minute. I can see the request leave chrome (or FF/IE) in the dev tools, and using Fiddler as a proxy I can see the request hit the machine that the application is running on, however it will not hit the breakpoint on the first line of the endpoint until after the first call returns.
At the point this call is blocking, there are typically up to 3 pending requests from the browser. Does IIS or the .NET architecture have some mechanism that is queuing my request? Or if not, what else would be between the request leaving the proxy and entering the controller? I'm at a bit of a loss for how to debug this.
I was able to find the issue. It turns out that despite my endpoint being defined asynchronously, ASP.NET controllers by default synchronize by session. So while my endpoints were able to be executed simultaneously across sessions, within the same session it would only allow one call at a time. I was able to fix the issue by setting the controller SessionState attribute to Read Only, allowing my calls to come through without blocking.
[SessionState(System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateBehavior.ReadOnly)]
While I am testing a web application, for some requests that are computational intensive on the server side, I would like to simulate the server response directly from a browser add-on. I would like to be able to configure the URL and set-up a JSON response that will be returned by the browser without sending the request to the server.
Does any of you know a good tool for this purpose ?
P.S. So far I am either changing the server code to simulate the response or changing the client code to return the response without triggering the request to server.
I have to integrate a 3rd party newsletter signup form that makes an AJAX call to HTTP url.
That form I'm placing on pages that use HTTP or HTTPS protocols ( http for home pg., ect.; https for ecommerce related stuff )
I don't think anything is sent back from the destination server ( at least I can't see the response) other than status code.
I'm getting 200 OK whether I submit the form from HTTP or HTTPS page and watch what's going on with it in Firebug. Wonder if it's safe to assume the call gets processed successfully?
Usually, I like to have a proof positive that something worked or didn't, but in this case all test signups show up the next day, ( due to sign up getting processed as some scheduled task I'm guessing ), hence the unease.
You can call https server from http but can't call http from https directly using AJAX.
To call http user from https server you need to call your server side application from java script using AJAX, and then call http url from your server side application then send back this to the client.
You can use window.location.protocol to check whether you're currently on a Secure connection, and if so, you should AJAX a secure url.
In, for example, JavaScript AJAX libraries it is possible to abort an AJAX request. Is there any server side advantage to this or is it just for client-side cleanliness? Is it part of TCP?
If, for example, I am requesting via AJAX a Python based server service – which is resource intensive – from my JavaScript Web App and abort this AJAX request, is it possible that aborting will ease the load on the server, or will the my ajax library just ignore the response from the server?
It does not affect the server-side if you use your frameworks abort feature. The server will still process the request regardless.
Once you made an HTTP request to a resource URL on your server (be it Asynch or not, aka ajax or "regular"), you can't abort it from your client / with another http request (unless your service has some weird listener that awaits for potential consequent http requests and stops itself up receiving one). My proposition, if you have one resource and time consuming operation, either split it into simpler operations, parallelize it or at east make some periodic responses to at least inform the user that it's still working and hasn't died
When people create real-time web apps, they are leaving a ajax request open/long running.
how do they do this in javascript?
There is really no difference from a normal ajax request. A callback is associated with the XMLHttpRequest. Once the request is complete the callback is invoked. The difference is on the server-side where the request is held open until data is ready for the client, or a timeout occurs. On the browser side, the callback is invoked as each successive request is answered. The callback must process the data from the server and initiate another request. The request is handled asynchronously, so the browser is not blocked.
A really good example of the whole thing is the chat demo included in Tornado.
