<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>
Request is the basic XHR request class in MooTools. While not extremely useful on its own, it provides the basic functionality for both Request.HTML and Request.JSON.

<a href="#" id="makeRequest" title="Make Request">Make Request</a> | <a href="#" id="failedRequest">This Request Will Fail</a>
</p>
<h2>Result</h2>
<div id="result">Waiting for the request to happen.</div>
