+ * Mozilla's XMLHttpRequest is modelled after Microsoft's IXMLHttpRequest
+ * object. The goal has been to make Mozilla's version match Microsoft's
+ * version as closely as possible, but there are bound to be some differences.
+ *
+ * In general, Microsoft's documentation for IXMLHttpRequest can be used.
+ * Mozilla's interface definitions provide some additional documentation. The
+ * web page to look at is http://www.mozilla.org/xmlextras/
+ *
+ * Mozilla's XMLHttpRequest object can be created in JavaScript like this:
+ * new XMLHttpRequest()
+ * compare to Internet Explorer:
+ * new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
+ *
+ * From JavaScript, the methods and properties visible in the XMLHttpRequest
+ * object are a combination of nsIXMLHttpRequest and nsIJSXMLHttpRequest;
+ * there is no need to differentiate between those interfaces.
+ *
+ * From native code, the way to set up onload and onerror handlers is a bit
+ * different. Here is a comment from Johnny Stenback <jst@netscape.com>:
+ *
+ * The mozilla implementation of nsIXMLHttpRequest implements the interface
+ * nsIDOMEventTarget and that's how you're supported to add event listeners.
+ * Try something like this:
+ *
+ * nsCOMPtr<nsIDOMEventTarget> target(do_QueryInterface(myxmlhttpreq));
+ *
+ * target->AddEventListener(NS_LITERAL_STRING("load"), mylistener,
+ * PR_FALSE)
+ *
+ * where mylistener is your event listener object that implements the
+ * interface nsIDOMEventListener.
+ *
+ * The 'onload', 'onerror', and 'onreadystatechange' attributes moved to
+ * nsIJSXMLHttpRequest, but if you're coding in C++ you should avoid using
+ * those.
+ *
+ * Conclusion: Do not use event listeners on XMLHttpRequest from C++, unless
+ * you're aware of all the security implications. And then think twice about
+ * it.
