		//The following are acceptable properties in kwArgs (in addition to the
		//normal dojo.io.Request object properties).
		//url: String: URL the server URL to use for the request.
		//transport: String: specify "IframeTransport" to force the use of this transport.
		//sendTransport: boolean: If true, then dojo.transport=iframe will be added to the request.
		//formNode: DOMNode: a form element node. The form elements' names and values will be used in
		//		the request. This makes it possible to upload files using this transport.
		//method: String: the HTTP method to use. Must be GET or POST. Default is POST.
		//mimetype: Specifies what format the result data should be given to the load/handle callback. Valid values are:
		//		text/plain, text/html, text/javascript, text/json, application/json. IMPORTANT: For all values EXCEPT text/html,
		//		The server response should be an HTML file with a textarea element. The response data should be inside the textarea
		//		element. Using an HTML document the only reliable, cross-browser way this transport can know
		//		when the response has loaded. For the text/html mimetype, just return a normal HTML document.
		//content: Object: If a formNode is one of the other kwArgs properties, then the content
		//		object properties become hidden form form elements. For instance, a content
		//		object of {name1 : "value1"} is converted to a hidden form element with a name
		//		of "name1" and a value of "value1". If there is not a formNode property, then
		//		the content object is converted into a name=value&name=value string, by
		//		using dojo.io.argsFromMap(). No encoding is passed to that method, so the
		//		names and values will be encoded using dojo.string.encodeAscii().
