IE8 function createXhr(method) returns window.XMLHttpRequest(), is undefined #5677
Description
function createXhr(method) {
// IE8 doesn't support PATCH method, but the ActiveX object does
/* global ActiveXObject */
return (msie <= 8 && lowercase(method) === 'patch')
? new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP')
: new window.XMLHttpRequest();
}in IE8 on GET (and other) requests this returns a new window.XMLHttpRequest() which at least in my case throws a "typeerror: object expected" exception. Shouldn't this always return the ActiveXObject where < IE8 is concerned?
