我应该如何解决 Chrome 的 XMLHttpRequest 侵入性“加载”行为？

Question

Here's a problem Google can't answer. I'm doing some HTTP "long polling" with XMLHttpRequest for a multiplayer game. In Chrome, this causes the tab to always be "loading" : (1) the icon in the tab is constantly playing the loading animation (2) the cursor is constantly an hourglass (3) the status persists forever at the bottom of the view area saying "contacting localhost"

I was sure others have run into this, but I can't find them yet.

Try starting the first long poll slightly after the page loads, rather than directly in the page load event (use a short timeout triggered on page load). It seems like you need to give Chrome a few milliseconds to regain it's composure so it doesn't constantly look like it's loading.
