First I would suggest looking at all the differences between your old 
working code and your new not working code.

Secondly, are you loading any other scripts such as external advertising 
scripts, google statistics, some other analytics, or anything else from 
external sources in the page that fails that might be causing a naming 
conflict with your global "HTTP" variable?

Describing your error in terms of "the code I'm not showing you doesn't 
work but the code I'm showing you does work and making this little change 
to the code I'm showing you makes it work or not work" really isn't very 
helpful to us in trying to diagnose the issue.

All I can guess at the moment is that something is not as you think it 
is, but unless you can show evidence for the error being in the code you 
have identified, then I don't think that's where the real problem is.

When you said

did you mean that it threw the error "Namespace 'HTTP' already exists", 
that you received some other error indication in the console, or what?

I understand:

> A following Alert() is never executed

but I'm not sure whether that's because (a) the code has thrown it's 
error as instructed, in which case you need to investigate why HTTP is 
defined and is either an object or has a name attribute; or (b) because 
of some syntax error (which might be being caused by, for example, a non 
visible encoded character in the source code file that is breaking the 
javascript parser.

So: Does it throw the "Namespace 'HTTP' already exists" exception? If 
not, what does the error console show (a) when the page is loaded and (b) 
when the code is executed.
