  var xhttp;
  if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
    xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
  } else {
    xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }

  xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
      response(this.responseText);
    }
  };

  xhttp.open("GET", url, true);
  xhttp.send();
}

function _POST_REQUEST(url, params, response) {
  var xhttp;
  if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
    xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
  } else {
    xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }

  xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
      response(this.responseText);
    }
  };

  xhttp.open("POST", url, true);
  xhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
  xhttp.send(params);
