AJAX .send()与.send(“”)

When sending an empty AJAX request, are there any technical differences between:

xhr.send();

and:

xhr.send("");

Mainly from a...

  • Cross browser support/behaviour (especially this one)
  • Actual data sent in HTTP headers (and is it the same in all browsers?)
  • The way the JavaScript expression is parsed and interpreted (Memory, CPU usage, parsing time... I know this is very MINIMAL but I would like to know, out of curiosity and for educational reasons)

...point of view.
