 * aOptions can have a variety of fields:
 *  headers, an array of headers
 *  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"]].
