Function xhrFetch

xhrFetch(
    url: string,
    options: {
        method?: string;
        headers?: Record<string, string>;
        body?: string | ArrayBuffer | FormData | Blob | URLSearchParams | null;
        responseType?: XMLHttpRequestResponseType;
    } & XHRProgressOptions,
): Promise<XHRResult>

Fetch implementation using XMLHttpRequest for browsers that don't support fetch with upload progress.

When to use xhrFetch vs withUploadProgress:

Scenario	Use
Modern browsers (Chrome 72+, Firefox 70+, Safari 15+)	withUploadProgress
Need upload progress in older browsers	xhrFetch
Uploading to servers that require XHR semantics	xhrFetch
Already using fetch-based code	withUploadProgress

Note: xhrFetch uses XMLHttpRequest which is browser-only and will throw in Node.js, Deno, Bun, or other non-browser runtimes.

Parameters

options: {
    method?: string;
    headers?: Record<string, string>;
    body?: string | ArrayBuffer | FormData | Blob | URLSearchParams | null;
