  * 2. added onopen, onclose, onerror, onretrying functions.
  * 3. modified dispatch to work with functions added in 2.
  * 4. replaced all for of loops with foreach
+ * 
+ * Additional changes:
+ * 1. separated event handling to use onprogress for data changes
+ *    and onreadystatechange for status changes. This is to address
+ *    an issue with Vega OS where they do not fire a readyStatechange
+ *    event when the response is received.
