Hi Phil As you say, the best solution is to wrap the xmlhttprequest JS file into a tiddler, and then require that tiddler.
The basic approach is to use a “tiddlywiki.files” file to turn the raw JS file into a tiddler. This mechanism includes the possibility of adding a prefix/suffix to the text of the file: https://tiddlywiki.com/#tiddlywiki.files%20Files There are a number of examples of third party modules wrapped for TiddlyWiki in the core repo: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/tree/master/plugins/tiddlywiki <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/tree/master/plugins/tiddlywiki> In particular, the jszip plugin contains an example of publishing a module as a tiddler, and the AWS plugin contains an example of using it.
