[Laszlo-user] REST support

[Greg Denton]

Thanks for the update and all the good work. My brief testing with
4.2alpha didn't go so well, I'll wait for the beta to be more
thorough.

Openlaszlo has such a good fundamental design for rapid application
development that to hobble easily programmable communication with
backend services over such a simple, open standard would be a loss.
