r = http.request(options);

• url – required. Url you want to request (might be http, https, or maybe even ftp);
• method – optional. Http method to use (currently one of GET, POST, HEAD). If not specified, GET is used;
• headers – optional. Object containing additional headers to pass to server:

  Code: Select all

  headers: {
      "Content-Type": "text/xml",
      "X-Requested-With": "RaZberry/1.5.0"
  }

• data – required for POST requests. Data to post to the server. May be either string (to post raw data) or an object with keys and values (will be serialized as "key1=value1&key2=value2&…");
• auth – optional. Provides credentials for basic authentication. It is an object containing login and password:

  Code: Select all

  auth: {
      login: "username",
      password: "secret"
  }

• contentType – optional. Allows to override content type returned by server for parsing data (see below);
• async – optional. Specifies whether request should be sent asynchronously. Default is false. In case of synchronous request result is returned immediately (as function return value), otherwise function exits immediately, and response is delivered later thru callbacks.
• success, error and complete – optional, valid only for async requests. Success callback is called after successful request, error is called on failure, complete is called nevertheless (even if success/error callback produces exception, so it is like "finally" statement);

• status – HTTP status code (or -1 if some non-HTTP error occurred). Status codes from 200 to 299 are considered success;
• statusText – status string;
• url – response url (might differ from url requested in case of server redirects);
• headers – object containing all the headers returned by server;
• contentType – content type returned by server;
• data – response data.

• application/json and text/x-json are returned as JSON object;
• application/xml and text/xml are returned as XML object;
• application/octet-stream is returned as binary ArrayBuffer;
• string is returned otherwise.

I am also interest in using XMLHttpRequest Object(like request = new XMLHttpRequest(); )
