function getHttpContents(result,HttpContents){
if (result.status==Http.Status.OK){
HttpContents.innerHTML = result.responseText;

HttpContents.innerHTML = "An error occurred (" + result.status.toString()

url
The URL to request. Required. Note that due to security restrictions, the URL must point to the same server as the current page. You cannot use XmlHttpRequest to retrieve results from external servers directly.
According to the api and just copy/pasting your code it fails.
