Support for chunked XMLHttpRequest

…hard to validate that we had upgraded a class successfully. Unit testing JavaScript and UI behavior can be tricky especially if a particular class depends on several other classes and application state. But about half way through our upgrade we realized that we badly needed unit tests to validate that our existing API s and features had no regressions. So we used a JS unit testing tool built by our own Nickolay Platonov over the past two years and optimized it for testing Ext JS applications. …

This shows up all over the shop. If I have …

…thread to perform the already-queued tasks. For example, you can instruct some code to be added to the UI thread queue after 50ms via: setTimeout(function(){
//do something
}, 50)
So after 50ms, this function is added to the queue and it's executed as soon as its turn comes. A call to setTimeout() effectively allows the current JavaScript task to complete so the next UI update can occur.
Problems
Even though I've been a big proponent of using setTimeout() in this way, …
