<h1>
    The wijmo.httpRequest Method
</h1>
<p>
    HTTP requests are the basic mechanism used by web applications
    to exchange data with the server.
</p>
<p>
    Many JavaScript toolkits and frameworks have their own wrappers
    for making HTTP requests. For example, Angular has an
    <a href="https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http" target="_blank">$http</a> service,
    and jQuery has an
    <a href="http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/">ajax()</a> method.
    If you have a favorite you can use that with C1 MVC.
</p>
<p>
    If you want to reduce dependencies on external toolkits and
    frameworks, you can use C1 MVC's simple and flexible
    <b>httpRequest</b> method instead.
</p>
<p>
    The example below illustrates by retrieving some data from
    Microsoft's Northwind OData sample service and using that
    to populate a FlexGrid:
</p>
@Html.C1().FlexGrid().Id("theGrid").IsReadOnly(true).Height(200)
