Steps to reproduce:

ProgressEvent CR (http://www.w3.org/TR/progress-events/) test
- Test wiki: http://www.w3.org/wiki/Webapps/Interop/ProgressEvents
- Test suite: http://w3c-test.org/webapps/ProgressEvents/tests/
- Test case: http://w3c-test.org/webapps/ProgressEvents/tests/submissions/Ms2ger/constructor.html



Actual results:

Test case failed: Object created from ProgressEvent interface has a initProgressEvent() method.


Expected results:

Object created from ProgressEvent interface should not have initProgressEvent() method anymore.

initProgressEvent() had been present until
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-progress-events-20110310/> version and removed
from <http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-progress-events-20110809/> version. As
it's been replaced by constructor, it may not be supported any more.
Thanks for the cc, though I'm not sure why you cc'd me...

What do the WHATWG specs say on this?
WHATWG spec no longer defines initProgressEvent, either.
http://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/#interface-progressevent
Also, WebKit already removed initProgressEvent.
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71340
This bug is valid, but odd testcase. What if some "LegacyEvents" spec added initProgressEvent.
Implementing such spec without causing test failures wouldn't be possible.
If that happens, I'll happily update the test :)
I left the function for C++ callers because the ProgressEvent constructor is hard to call from C++.
I didn't bump the iid because this will not change the binary layout.

Make initProgressEvent() [noscript]

Do other browser have initProgressEvent?

Ms2ger's test should be imported.

Chrome does not support initProgressEvent (see comment #3).
IE10 has initProgressEvent, but it doesn't support ProgressEvent in the first place.
I don't care about dying Presto anymore.
Flags: in-testsuite?
> it doesn't support ProgressEvent
it doesn't support ProgressEvent constructor

Actually, since we support .createEvent("progressevent"), we should have
initProgressEvent too.
So either remove both or keep them both.

Drop support for .createEvent("progressevent")

This all is tiny bit risky since IE supports this.
But better to try this now, early in cycle.
