I am trying to pass request headers in an AJAX GET using jQuery. In the following block, "data" automatically passes the values in the querystring. Is there a way to pass that data in the request header instead ?
$.ajax({
url: "http://localhost/PlatformPortal/Buyers/Account/SignIn",
data: { signature: authHeader },
type: "GET",
success: function() { alert('Success!' + authHeader); }
});
The following didn't work either
$.ajax({
url: "http://localhost/PlatformPortal/Buyers/Account/SignIn",
beforeSend: { signature: authHeader },
async: false,
type: "GET",
success: function() { alert('Success!' + authHeader); }
});
As of jQuery 1.5, there is a headers
hash you can pass in as follows:
$.ajax({
url: "/test",
headers: {"X-Test-Header": "test-value"}
});
From http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax:
headers (added 1.5): A map of additional header key/value pairs to send along with the request. This setting is set before the beforeSend function is called; therefore, any values in the headers setting can be overwritten from within the beforeSend function.
