standard JavaScript XMLHTTPRequest object (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-

Note
It is not possible to use the async mode, which can be set via the open() function of the
ScriptableHTTPRequest (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/open) in a data mapping configuration. Async-related
properties and methods of the ScriptableHTTPRequest object - for example .onreadystatechange,
.readyState and .ontimeout - are not supported.
