Searches with "ajax" and "browser" and "download" tend to give back the whole internet, so I thought I'd ask here.I have been developing an ajax application that has a download function. The problem is that while a large download is in progress, Chrome queues up XHR requests for that page until the download is completed. Note that Javascript runs fine, the web site can be accessed from different browsers, and other sites can be accessed normally from other tabs in Chrome.I have confirmed that the requests aren't sent until the download is complete by watching the Apache access log. I also see all of the XHR requests immediately after the download completes.I have tried both document.location and downloading to the src of an iframe.Is there an official standard that states that downloads should block XHR requests?Is there a way around this?It seems like an unuseful restriction.Thanks
