/**
* XMLHttpRequest is a JavaScript object that was designed by Microsoft and adopted by Mozilla, Apple, and Google. It's now being standardized in the W3C. It provides an easy way to retrieve data at a URL. Despite its name, XMLHttpRequest can be used to retrieve any type of data, not just XML, and it supports protocols other than HTTP (including file and ftp).
To create an instance of XMLHttpRequest, simply do this:
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
For details about how to use XMLHttpRequest, see Using XMLHttpRequest.

* Initializes a request. This method is to be used from JavaScript code; to initialize a request from native code, use openRequest()instead.
Note: Calling this method an already active request (one for which open()or openRequest()has already been called) is the equivalent of calling abort().
Parameters
method- The HTTP method to use; either "POST" or "GET". Ignored for non-HTTP(S) URLs.
url- The URL to which to send the request.
async- An optional boolean parameter, defaulting to
true, indicating whether or not to perform the operation asynchronously. If this value is false, the send()method does not return until the response is received. If true, notification of a completed transaction is provided using event listeners. This must be true if the multipart attribute is true, or an exception will be thrown. user- The optional user name to use for authentication purposes; by default, this is an empty string.
password- The optional password to use for authentication purposes; by default, this is an empty string.
