OT : XMLHttpRequest Equivalent

I know this is a OT.

Anybody knows how can I simulate an XMLHttpRequest using the httpclient? Is
this possible or not?

Thank you very much.

It is possible to generate the requests from XMLHttpRequest with 
HttpClient.
However, the API is completely different. There is currently no way around
learning the details of HTTP, analysing what XMLHttpRequest methods do, 
and
re-implementing that functionality using the HttpClient API.

hope that helps,
