[sldev] IDEA: HUD Objects should do HTTPrequests from the client not through the SIM.

[Mark Grandau]

The thing I don't like about that is the way it removes your from the
point of emmersion. Sure the HUD is out of sim context but the focal
point is still right there.

Also because the data has to be delivered to the sim anyway. The  
script that's making the request runs in the sim, and making the  
client fetch the data would mean you'd be doubling the amount of data  
transfer and shoving part of it through the user's often-bottlenecked  
IP connection.

If you want to do something in the client, you need to call llLoadURL.
