[OpenLayers-Dev] Suggested change to XMLHttpRequest.js. Works for IE, FF, Safari, Chrome 4

[Phil Scadden]

This is a revisit of the question for getting openlayers to work in all 
browsers off content in a local USB.

Change the function cXMLHttpRequest() to this.
     function cXMLHttpRequest() {
         this._object    = oXMLHttpRequest && (window.location.protocol 
!== "file:" || !window.ActiveXObject) ?
                 new oXMLHttpRequest
              :  new window.ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

     };

Tried it in 2.8 and 2.9 rc3, and with all 4 browsers. Got local files 
serving up fine as well as wms content
from off the web in the same map.
