class SimpleAsyncHttpRequest

app :: SimpleAsyncHttpRequest

Simple AsyncHttpRequest where uri is an attribute

Prints on communication errors and when the remote server returns an HTTP status code not in the 200s.

This class can be instantiated to execute a request where the response is ignored by the application. Alternatively, it can be subclassed to implement on_load.

var request = new SimpleAsyncHttpRequest("http://example.com")
request.start
