Re: libseed-list use of javascriptcore objects/methods

[Tim Horton <hortont424 gmail com>]

XMLHTTPRequest is not a feature of JavaScript, it is functionality exposed by the browser /through/ JS. As Seed does not run within a browser, it does not include this functionality.

You might want to look at the libsoup bindings. I believe the seed-examples repo includes an example of this, but I don't remember.
