/**
 * @fileoverview Cross domain RPC library using the <a
 * href="http://go/xd2_design" target="_top">XD2 approach</a>.
 *
 * <h5>Protocol</h5>
 * Client sends a request across domain via a form submission.  Server
 * receives these parameters: "xdpe:request-id", "xdpe:dummy-uri" ("xdpe" for
 * "cross domain parameter to echo back") and other user parameters prefixed
 * with "xdp" (for "cross domain parameter").  Headers are passed as parameters
 * prefixed with "xdh" (for "cross domain header").  Only strings are supported
 * for parameters and headers.  A GET method is mapped to a form GET.  All
 * other methods are mapped to a POST.  Server is expected to produce a
 * HTML response such as the following:
 * <pre>
 * &lt;body&gt;
 * &lt;script type="text/javascript"
 *     src="path-to-crossdomainrpc.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
 * var currentDirectory = location.href.substring(
 *     0, location.href.lastIndexOf('/')
 * );
 *
 * // echo all parameters prefixed with "xdpe:"
 * var echo = {};
 * echo[goog.net.CrossDomainRpc.PARAM_ECHO_REQUEST_ID] =
 *     &lt;value of parameter "xdpe:request-id"&gt;;
 * echo[goog.net.CrossDomainRpc.PARAM_ECHO_DUMMY_URI] =
 *     &lt;value of parameter "xdpe:dummy-uri"&gt;;
 *
 * goog.net.CrossDomainRpc.sendResponse(
 *     '({"result":"&lt;responseInJSON"})',
 *     true,    // is JSON
 *     echo,    // parameters to echo back
 *     status,  // response status code
 *     headers  // response headers
 * );
 * &lt;/script&gt;
 * &lt;/body&gt;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <h5>Server Side</h5>
 * For an example of the server side, refer to the following files:
 * <ul>
 * <li>http://go/xdservletfilter.java</li>
 * <li>http://go/xdservletrequest.java</li>
 * <li>http://go/xdservletresponse.java</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h5>System Requirements</h5>
 * Tested on IE6, IE7, Firefox 2.0 and Safari nightly r23841.

   * Here we used to do URI encoding of data before we divide it into chunks
   * and decode on the receiving end.  We don't do this any more on IE for the
   * following reasons.
   *
   * 1) On IE, calling decodeURIComponent on a relatively large string is
   *   extremely slow (~22s for 160KB).  So even a moderate amount of data
   *   makes this library pretty much useless.  Fortunately, we can actually
   *   put unencoded data on IE's URL and get it back reliably.  So we are
   *   completely skipping encoding and decoding on IE.  When we call
   *   getFrameHash_ to get it back, the value is still intact(*) and unencoded.
   * 2) On Firefox, we have to call decodeURIComponent because location.hash
   *   does decoding by itself.  Fortunately, decodeURIComponent is not slow
   *   on Firefox.
   * 3) Safari automatically encodes everything you put on URL and it does not
   *   automatically decode when you access it via location.hash or
   *   location.href.  So we encode it here and decode it in detectResponse_().
   *
   * Note(*): IE actually does encode only space to %20 and decodes that
   *   automatically when you do location.href or location.hash.
