+ * aOptions can have a variety of fields:

+ *  postData, this can be:
+ *    a string: send it as is
+ *    an array of parameters: encode as form values
+ *    null/undefined: no POST data.
+ *  method, GET, POST or PUT (this is set automatically if postData exists).
+ *  onLoad, a function handle to call when the load is complete, it takes two
+ *          parameters: the responseText and the XHR object.
+ *  onError, a function handle to call when an error occcurs, it takes three
+ *          parameters: the error, the responseText and the XHR object.
+ *  logger, an object that implements the debug and log methods (e.g. Log.sys.mjs).
+ *
+ * Headers or post data are given as an array of arrays, for each each inner
+ * array the first value is the key and the second is the value, e.g.
+ *  [["key1", "value1"], ["key2", "value2"]].
