* This is a small wrapper around XMLHttpRequest, which solves various
* inadequacies of the API, e.g. error handling. It is entirely generic and
* can be used for purposes outside of even mail.
*
* It does not provide download progress, but assumes that the
* fetched resource is so small (<1 10 KB) that the roundtrip and
* response generation is far more significant than the
* download time of the response. In other words, it's fine for RPC,
* but not for bigger file downloads.

/**
* Set up a fetch.
*
* @param {string} url - URL of the server function.
* ATTENTION: The caller needs to make sure that the URL is secure to call.
* @param {object} args - Additional parameters as properties, see below
*
* @param {Function({string} result)} successCallback
* Called when the server call worked (no errors).
* |result| will contain the body of the HTTP response, as string.
* @param {Function(ex)} errorCallback
* Called in case of error. ex contains the error
* with a user-displayable but not localized |.message| and maybe a
* |.code|, which can be either
* - an nsresult error code,
* - an HTTP result error code (0...1000) or
* - negative: 0...-100 :
* -2 = can't resolve server in DNS etc.
* -4 = response body (e.g. XML) malformed
*
* The following optional parameters are supported as properties of the |args| object:
*
* @param {Object, associative array} urlArgs - Parameters to add
* to the end of the URL as query string. E.g.
* { foo: "bla", bar: "blub blub" } will add "?foo=bla&bar=blub%20blub"
* to the URL
* (unless the URL already has a "?", then it adds "&foo...").
* The values will be urlComponentEncoded, so pass them unencoded.
* @param {Object, associative array} headers - HTTP headers to be added
* to the HTTP request.
* { foo: "blub blub" } will add HTTP header "Foo: Blub blub".
* The values will be passed verbatim.
* @param {boolean} post - HTTP GET or POST
* Only influences the HTTP request method,
* i.e. first line of the HTTP request, not the body or parameters.
* Use POST when you modify server state,
* GET when you only request information.
* Default is GET.
* @param {Object, associative array} bodyFormArgs - Like urlArgs,
* just that the params will be sent x-url-encoded in the body,
* like a HTML form post.
* The values will be urlComponentEncoded, so pass them unencoded.
* This cannot be used together with |uploadBody|.
* @param {object} uploadBody - Arbitrary object, which to use as
* body of the HTTP request. Will also set the mimetype accordingly.
* Only supported object types, currently only JXON is supported
* (sending XML).
* Usually, you have nothing to upload, so just pass |null|.
* Only supported object types, currently supported:
* JXON -> sending XML
* JS object -> sending JSON
* string -> sending text/plain
* If you want to override the body mimetype, set header Content-Type below.
* Usually, you have nothing to upload, so just leave it at |null|.
* Default |null|.
* @param {boolean} allowCache (default true)
* @param {string} username (default null = no authentication)
* @param {string} password (default null = no authentication)
* @param {boolean} allowAuthPrompt (default true)
* @param {boolean} requireSecureAuth (default false)
* Ignore the username and password unless we are using https:
* This also applies to both https: to http: and http: to https: redirects.
