Answer 1

You'll have to reference a file which (eventually) contains XMLHttpRequest declaration.

That declaration is eventually here: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/blob/master/lib/lib.webworker.d.ts

You may want to double-check your typescript configuration: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript
