how to set HTTP header variables using ajax call

hi,

I like to set header variables for my ajax call rather than using POST or GET variable.

Is there a way to do that???

Note:- i have a rest API that requires me to send HTTP header variables like public key etc. So it is necessary for me to set HTTP header variables

Most of http related calls to apis are processed by means of passing variables in the url parameters.

POST

url = "http://location.com/file.php"

data = "id=12345&key=6789"

GET

url = "http://location.com/file.php?id=12345&key=6789"

If you really require custom set headers, you will need to do some custom javascripting through the browser object and use/refer XmlHttpRequest in your coding.

is there any plugin available for this type of work???? I am amaze that this is not provided by construct2....suppose if i want to do that then what should be starting point do i need to create new plugin to code javascript?

This is probably something that is not implemented yet.

Meanwhile, you have two options:

Either modify the ajax plugin and add options for modifying headers (shouldn't be that hard to do, but requires you to learn a bit of the SDK)

Or set up a server-side request proxy, that takes your request, modifies the headers, and forwards it to the destination - you'll need to know a server-side language (such as PHP) for that.

I recommend the first option.

Fimbul based on your answer i have made my own custom ajax plugin but strangely it does not work when i use header variables. It is not sending the server variables for some reasons and after spending more than 4 hours i am unable to figure out why...

But when i tried a simple html page with javascript code and it worked... Both codes are identical but not sure why in C2 prototype object it doesnt work at all...

if(method_ === "POST" && data_ && hdata_)
               {
                    
                    if (request["setRequestHeader"])
                    {
                         request["setRequestHeader"]("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
                         request["setRequestHeader"]("X-UserMail", "faeeea@kkk.com");
                         request["setRequestHeader"]("X-Number", "hdj2wds2323d723");
                         request["setRequestHeader"]("X-Token", "80e68a46796cf0085afc45067b83273043bb685e864ec99058b609d29f34523e");
                         
                         alert("HDPOST "+request["setRequestHeader"]);
                         
                    }
     
                    request.send(data_);
               }
