Discussion

The .httpFetch() method can be used to fetch data from a remote URL.

The onSuccess callback function is called when the data is available. This function gets called with the data that has been retrieved.

Example:

var url = 'http://some_remote_url';
var cb = function(data) { console.log(data); };
var fail = function() { alert('request failed'); };
{dialog.object}.httpFetch(url,cb,fail);

You can optionally specify headers to include in the request. Headers are defined as an array of objects. For example:

var headers = [];
headers.push( {
    name: 'Authorization',
    value: 'Bearer my_access_token_value_goes_here'
});
