+An event handler called repeatedly when response data is available. The handler is passed an [`event` interface object](/en-US/docs/web/api/event). However, the only reliable content in that object is the `data` property, which includes a chunk of the response data as an {{jsxref("ArrayBuffer")}}.
 
 To decode the data, use either {{domxref("TextDecoder")}} or {{domxref("Blob")}}.
