/**
* @description Method for requesting a transaction. _io() is implemented as
* yui.io(). Each transaction may include a configuration object. Its
* properties are:
*
* method: HTTP method verb (e.g., GET or POST). If this property is not
* not defined, the default value will be GET.
*
* data: This is the name-value string that will be sent as the transaction
* data. If the request is HTTP GET, the data become part of
* querystring. If HTTP POST, the data are sent in the message body.
*
* xdr: Defines the transport to be used for cross-domain requests. By
* setting this property, the transaction will use the specified
* transport instead of XMLHttpRequest.
* The properties are:
* {
* use: Specify the transport to be used: 'flash' and 'native'
* dataType: Set the value to 'XML' if that is the expected
* response content type.
* }
*
*
* form: This is a defined object used to process HTML form as data. The
* properties are:
* {
* id: Node object or id of HTML form.
* useDisabled: Boolean value to allow disabled HTML form field
* values to be sent as part of the data.
* }
*
* on: This is a defined object used to create and handle specific
* events during a transaction lifecycle. These events will fire in
* addition to the global io events. The events are:
* start - This event is fired when a request is sent to a resource.
* complete - This event fires when the transaction is complete.
* success - This event fires when the response status resolves to
* HTTP 2xx.
* failure - This event fires when the response status resolves to
* HTTP 4xx, 5xx; and, for all transaction exceptions,
* including aborted transactions and transaction timeouts.
* end - This even is fired at the conclusion of the transaction
* lifecycle, after a success or failure resolution.
*
* The properties are:
* {
* start: function(id, arguments){},
* complete: function(id, responseobject, arguments){},
* success: function(id, responseobject, arguments){},
* failure: function(id, responseobject, arguments){},
* end: function(id, arguments){}
* }
* Each property can reference a function or be written as an
* inline function.
*
* sync: To enable synchronous transactions, set the configuration property
* "sync" to true; the default behavior is false. Synchronous
* transactions are limited to same-domain requests only.
*
* context: Object reference for all defined transaction event handlers
* when it is implemented as a method of a base object. Defining
* "context" will set the reference of "this," used in the
* event handlers, to the context value. In the case where
* different event handlers all have different contexts,
* use Y.bind() to set the execution context, bypassing this
* configuration.
*
* headers: This is a defined object of client headers, as many as.
* desired for the transaction. The object pattern is:
* { 'header': 'value' }.
*
* timeout: This value, defined as milliseconds, is a time threshold for the
* transaction. When this threshold is reached, and the transaction's
* Complete event has not yet fired, the transaction will be aborted.
*
* arguments: Object, array, string, or number passed to all registered
* event handlers. This value is available as the second
* argument in the "start" and "abort" event handlers; and, it is
* the third argument in the "complete", "success", and "failure"
* event handlers.
