Removing the Myths Around AJAX Complexity
Developers that have never used AJAX may fear its use as painful and indeed it can be on some
platforms; that is not the case in haXe, which has been built with communication in mind since day one.
The JavaScript library provides a class XMLHttpRequest that is a low - level abstraction over the
communication object implemented in the different browsers. Although it is possible to work using this
class, it is not the easiest and most effective way. A better choice is to use the haxe.Http class that is a
cross - platform implementation available for every supported platform (Table 14.4).

haxe.Http Public Field Description
function setHeader( header:String, value:
String ) : Void
Sets a value in the communication header.
