     * @class Ext.data.Connection
     * @extends Ext.util.Observable
     * <p>The class encapsulates a connection to the page's originating domain, allowing requests to be made
     * either to a configured URL, or to a URL specified at request time.</p>
     * <p>Requests made by this class are asynchronous, and will return immediately. No data from
     * the server will be available to the statement immediately following the {@link #request} call.
     * To process returned data, use a
     * <a href="#request-option-success" ext:member="request-option-success" ext:cls="Ext.data.Connection">success callback</a>
     * in the request options object,
     * or an {@link #requestcomplete event listener}.</p>
     * <p><h3>File Uploads</h3><a href="#request-option-isUpload" ext:member="request-option-isUpload" ext:cls="Ext.data.Connection">File uploads</a> are not performed using normal "Ajax" techniques, that
     * is they are <b>not</b> performed using XMLHttpRequests. Instead the form is submitted in the standard
     * manner with the DOM <tt>&lt;form></tt> element temporarily modified to have its
     * <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/present/frames.html#adef-target">target</a> set to refer
     * to a dynamically generated, hidden <tt>&lt;iframe></tt> which is inserted into the document
     * but removed after the return data has been gathered.</p>
     * <p>The server response is parsed by the browser to create the document for the IFRAME. If the
     * server is using JSON to send the return object, then the
     * <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.17">Content-Type</a> header
     * must be set to "text/html" in order to tell the browser to insert the text unchanged into the document body.</p>
     * <p>Characters which are significant to an HTML parser must be sent as HTML entities, so encode
     * "&lt;" as "&amp;lt;", "&amp;" as "&amp;amp;" etc.</p>
     * <p>The response text is retrieved from the document, and a fake XMLHttpRequest object
     * is created containing a <tt>responseText</tt> property in order to conform to the
     * requirements of event handlers and callbacks.</p>
     * <p>Be aware that file upload packets are sent with the content type <a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2388.html">multipart/form</a>
     * and some server technologies (notably JEE) may require some custom processing in order to
     * retrieve parameter names and parameter values from the packet content.</p>
