       }
    timeout = 5000
    xhr.send();
    winMail.add(table);

Please help

Stiaan, you running this from a Win machine? If so, I don't think the emulator or device will see the local hostname. Instead, try by IP address:

http://192.xxx.xxx.xxx/api/transaction/inbox/johnny
// replace ^^^^^^^^^^ with actual local IP

I don't have experience working on a Win PC, so let me know if this works.

As long as your txt file is located within your Resources directory, you should have no problem reading it for testing.
