I asked the same question and got:

http://jibbering.com/2002/4/httprequest.html

http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/xmlhttpreq.html

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk/html/xmobjpmexmlhttprequest.asp

http://unstable.elemental.com/mozilla/build/latest/mozilla/extensions/dox/interfacensIXMLHttpRequest.html

The Apple article by Danny Goodman is far and away the best one.
Note that any XMLHTTP request *requires* you to use the send() method
to actually send the request. This stumped me, because none of the
articles clearly said so.
