I'm using Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater to automate HTML element refreshes with the latest data from the server/database. I have left my IE6 browser open for a minimum of 8 hours and noticed the memory consumption to have increased exorbitantly and the page loses responsiveness. I have removed everything dynamic from the page except the Ajax updates being performed by Prototype.js. There is only a small amount of data being transmitted with each response. I have not been able to track down any other JavaScript-related memory leaks occurring in the page. My question is: What happens to the ActiveX object that is created in IE6 in order to perform the Ajax requests in Prototype? The Ajax.getTransport() function returns either Msxml2.XMLHTTP or Microsoft.XMLHTTP and I want to know what happens to these objects after a request/response has completely finished? At this point it seems those objects aren't ever being cleaned up.
Any thought/comments/suggestions are much appreciated.
