* Ajax reader for OpenLayers

*
*@uri url to do remote XML http get
*@param 'get' format params (x=y&a=b...)
*@who  object which is providing a specific callbacks for this request
*@complete  the name of the function which must be defined in the callers.handler[] array
*@failure  the name of the function which must be defined in the callers.handler[] array
*
* example usage from a caller:
*
*   this.handlers["caps"] = function(request){..}
*   OpenLayers.loadURL(url,params,this,"caps");
*
* Notice the above example does not provide an error handler; a default empty
* handler is provided which merely logs the error if a failure handler is not supplied
