title: Mootools request - cannot make the examples work
body: <p>I've downloaded the examples for both the Request and Request.HTML and cannot make either work. I unzipped them to a folder and browsed to their index.html to execute them as is, but the response is always "The request failed." with no clues as to why.</p>
  
  <p>I've played around with them with different permutations and can get the request to complete but it always fails. Is there any way to get a reason for failure? I've tried three different browsers turned off my firewall, used relative and absolute file references but nothing works. Am I missing something glarringly obvious? I'd post the code, but it is the examples exactly as is...</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be awesome.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers,</p>
