I forgot to mention I'd also like to have other verbs available to me than
just GET and POST, the XMLHTTPRequest object (misnamed as it has little to
do with XML) from MS or Mozilla would be the sort of thing, removing
getURL/postURL for just such an object may even be preferred (it's trivial
to implement getURL/postURL in terms of such an object.)
