no-one understands what AJAX is, the simple solution is just using the
object, any wrapper simply creates more confusion than just using the
object.

obj= new Thingy()
obj.doWhenFinished=someFunction;
obj.open("url")
obj.send();

is just as complicated as

obj=new HTTPRequest();
obj.open("get","url",false);
obj.onreadystatechange=someFunction;
obj,send("");

There's simply nothing to be gained by the abstraction.

The problems people are having are not in the request, it's in related
things.
