[lively-kernel] how to make a web request

[Robert Krahn]

1) This world shows a simple example of how to make a request:

http://lively-web.org/documentation/webrequest-example.html

2) Lets say you created a simple subserver "MyServer" with
$world.openSubserverViewer():

module.exports = function(route, app) {
    app.get(route, function(req, res) {
        res.end("MyServer is running!");
    });
}

To make a request to the handler run:

URL.nodejsBase.withFilename("MyServer/").asWebResource().get().content

(in an older version of Lively:
new URL(Config.nodeJSURL + '/MyServer/').asWebResource().get().content)
