ComboBox: test/example querying against a URL like foo.php?query=ca

[bill]

Add test file for ComboBox/FilteringSelect? with trivial dojo.data Store that gets data from a URL, like the old incrementalDataStore. Implement URL as PHP code (can copy format in tests/layout/getResponse.php).

We already have ones that use URLs. Whether it is a static file or a PHP file doesn't matter because the return format is the same . . .

Here is the URL that the test in the nightly uses:

http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/checkout/dijit/tests/form/comboBoxData.json

It's a URL right? It returns the same thing a PHP file would return right? So I'm not sure what we are supposed to do to prove this ticket is fixed beyond that.

Also, if we do implement a PHP file, it will break offline testing, which is bad.

No, it's different. A PHP file takes a query and returns the items matching the query. Example:

foo.php?query=a

returns:

[ "alabama", "arizona", "arkansas"]

(or something similar)

That's how people will be using Combobox/FilteringSelect in real life so it's important to test. As I wrote in the bug description, "like the old incrementalDataStore" from 0.4.

See #4597 for store that accesses the server on query, and [10692] for a reference PHP implementation that it can be hooked up to.

Fixed by [10875]. Thanks Wolfram!
