Resource.textContent() not implementable in Browser

See original GitHub issue

Right now Resource.textContent() isn’t implemented in the Browser (nor is .size obviously) because in the browser we can only deal with external data asynchronously.

Right now that means that a module like ceylon.locale cannot be used at all in a browser.

Futures aren’t part of the language module so it seems to me that the only thing we can do is to add asynchronous versions of the two members:

  • textContentAsync(encoding, callback) and
  • sizeAsync(callback)

The documentation should then state that it would be preferable to always use those for best compatibility across all possible platforms.

Wdyt @gavinking @chochos ?

I have some rubbish heuristics for that in the code already.
