  Performs http requests using `XMLHttpRequest` as the default backend.
  
  `Http` is available as an injectable class, with methods to perform http requests. Calling
  `request` returns an <a href='../core/EventEmitter-class.html'><code>EventEmitter</code></a> which will emit a single <a href='Response-class.html'><code>Response</code></a> when a
  response is received.
  
  
  ## Breaking Change
  
  Previously, methods of `Http` would return an RxJS Observable directly. For now,
  the `toRx()` method of <a href='../core/EventEmitter-class.html'><code>EventEmitter</code></a> needs to be called in order to get the RxJS
  Subject. `EventEmitter` does not provide combinators like `map`, and has different semantics for
  subscribing/observing. This is temporary; the result of all `Http` method calls will be either an
  Observable
  or Dart Stream when [issue #2794](https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/2794) is resolved.
  
  #Example
  
  ```
  import {Http, httpInjectables} from 'angular2/http';
  @Component({selector: 'http-app', viewInjector: [httpInjectables]})
  @View({templateUrl: 'people.html'})
  class PeopleComponent {
    constructor(http: Http) {
      http.get('people.json')
        //Get the RxJS Subject
        .toRx()
        // Call map on the response observable to get the parsed people object
        .map(res => res.json())
        // Subscribe to the observable to get the parsed people object and attach it to the
        // component
        .subscribe(people => this.people = people);
    }
  }
  ```
  
  To use the <a href='../core/EventEmitter-class.html'><code>EventEmitter</code></a> returned by `Http`, simply pass a generator (See "interface
  Generator" in the Async Generator spec: https://github.com/jhusain/asyncgenerator) to the
  `observer` method of the returned emitter, with optional methods of `next`, `throw`, and `return`.
  
  #Example
  
  ```
  http.get('people.json').observer({next: (value) => this.people = people});
  ```
  
  The default construct used to perform requests, `XMLHttpRequest`, is abstracted as a "Backend" (
  <a href='XHRBackend-class.html'><code>XHRBackend</code></a> in this case), which could be mocked with dependency injection by replacing
  the <a href='XHRBackend-class.html'><code>XHRBackend</code></a> binding, as in the following example:
  
  #Example
  
  ```
  import {MockBackend, BaseRequestOptions, Http} from 'angular2/http';
  var injector = Injector.resolveAndCreate([
    BaseRequestOptions,
    MockBackend,
    bind(Http).toFactory(
        function(backend, defaultOptions) {
          return new Http(backend, defaultOptions);
        },
        [MockBackend, BaseRequestOptions])
  ]);
  var http = injector.get(Http);
  http.get('request-from-mock-backend.json').toRx().subscribe((res:Response) => doSomething(res));
  ```

      Performs any type of http request. First argument is required, and can either be a url or
      a <a href='Request-class.html'><code>Request</code></a> instance. If the first argument is a url, an optional <a href='RequestOptions-class.html'><code>RequestOptions</code></a>
      object can be provided as the 2nd argument. The options object will be merged with the values
      of <a href='BaseRequestOptions-class.html'><code>BaseRequestOptions</code></a> before performing the request.
