+## Using on the Browser
+
+The HTTP library can be used on the browser via the [BrowserClient][] class in
+`package:http/browser_client.dart`. This client translates requests into
+XMLHttpRequests. For example:
+
+```dart
+import 'package:http/browser_client.dart';
+import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
+
+var client = new BrowserClient();
+var url = "/whatsit/create";
+client.post(url, body: {"name": "doodle", "color": "blue"})
+    .then((response) {
+  print("Response status: ${response.statusCode}");
+  print("Response body: ${response.body}");
+});
+```
