  - send
```
public final void send()
```
    Initiates a request with no request data. This simply calls send(String) with null as an argument, because the no-argument send() method is unavailable on Firefox.
  - send
```
public final void send(java.lang.String requestData)

    Initiates a request with data. If there is no data, specify null.
    See http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#the-send-method.

```
    Sets the ReadyStateChangeHandler to be notified when the object's ready-state changes.
    See http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#handler-xhr-onreadystatechange.
    Note: Applications must call clearOnReadyStateChange() when they no longer need this object, to ensure that it is cleaned up properly. Failure to do so will result in memory leaks on some browsers.
    
    Parameters:
    handler - the handler to be called when the ready state changes
    See Also:
    clearOnReadyStateChange()
  - setRequestHeader
```
