Ok, i see I can use XMLHTTPrequests and timers in workerpool since
gears 0.2.
However, it says "Gears HttpRequest provides most of the features of
XmlHttpRequest except for the ability to access the response as an XML
DOM object".
This means, if the response is an XML DOM, I can not traverse the tree
and store the data in the local database?
Wow could I do this?
I would like to implement a background sync using WorkerPool.
However, I guess this is not possible, right? WorkerPool can't perform
XMLHTTPrequests and have to call the parent instead to retrieve Data.
However, the parent can't pass the retrieved DOM back to the
WorkerPool to perform DB updates etc.
Or am I missing something?
I don't want to let the parent do the DB update. Would be nice to have
this working in the background.
Don't you think this functionality would be required in the
workerpool?
Thanks for your help and any suggestion.
