Current Limitation

XMLHttpRequest for Node hasn't been updated in 7 years.

Feature / Enhancement Description

The Fetch API is a modern, promise-based approach for making HTTP requests in JavaScript environments. While natively available in browsers, Node.js has integrated the Fetch API as a stable feature since version 18. This eliminates the need for external libraries like node-fetch for basic fetching functionalities. This takes an isomorphic approach to making requests.

Example Use Case

Features that could be added to the SDK

• File upload and download progress on Node Add support for providing file upload progress. #373 (comment)
• Properly handle 301 redirects and proxy The request in Parse.Object.saveAll() does not have a reverse proxy #1945
• Query intercepter Parse query request interceptor #1449
• Allow for large uploads Parse.File Terminates when Encoding/Decoding Large Media File(s) with URI Constructor #2170
• Cache support Caching in JS SDK #118

To implement

• Change Parse.Query.cancel
• Change Parse.File.cancel
• Change Parse.File.download
• Change RESTController
• Update Tests
• Update WeChat XHR
