New MooTools Plugin: Request.Queue
The MooTools Request class gives us the option to link together requests so that with a single instance of the class, if you’ve got a request that’s running you can ’stack up’ any new send requests so that they occur one after the other.
This is convenient, but what if you have numerous instances of Request or its subclasses (like Request.HTML) and you want to only have one request running at a time? Or only two?
That’s basically all that Request.Queue does. It lets you register any number of instances of Request or its subclasses with an instance of Request.Queue and then write your code like normal. All requests to server will be queued up and fired off one or two or three at a time (you choose).
