Pass request headers in a jQuery AJAX GET call

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.


Use beforeSend:

$.ajax({
         url: "http://localhost/PlatformPortal/Buyers/Account/SignIn",
         data: { signature: authHeader },
         type: "GET",
         beforeSend: function(xhr){xhr.setRequestHeader('X-Test-Header', 'test-value');},
         success: function() { alert('Success!' + authHeader); }
      });

            dataType: 'json',
            headers: {
                'header1': 'value1',
                'header2': 'value2'
            },
            contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
            success: function (result) {
               // CallBack(result);
            },
            error: function (error) {
                
            }
        });
