XMLHttpRequest used to find quicker server

I have a situation where my website needs to quickly retrieve data from my server via AJAX. My website runs on port 80, serving normal web pages.

I'm doing an AJAX download that is being redirected. I'd like to know the final target URL the request was redirected to. I'm using jQuery, but also have access to the underlying XMLHttpRequest.

XHR persistent connection, how so?

I was just reading how FaceBook designed their chat system, and it reads: "and having that iframe's JavaScript make an HTTP GET request over a persistent connection that doesn't return until the server has data for the client.

how do I access XHR responseBody from Javascript?

I've got a web page that uses XMLHttpRequest to download a binary resource. Because it's binary I'm trying to use xhr.responseBody to access the bytes.
