How to get request header from ajax

Question

I am using ajax. Here. i can get response header.

var getUrl = $.ajax({
                type: urlType,
                url: url,
                data:data,  
                beforeSend:function(xhr){console.log(xhr)},
                success: function(data) {
                   $('.response').show();
                   $('#resData').val(data);
                   $('#resHeader').val(getUrl.getAllResponseHeaders());
                  // console.log(getUrl.header)
                },
                error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                },
                complete: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus) {
                    console.log(XMLHttpRequest)
                }
            });

In this, I didn't set headers. by Default, It pass the request header which is shown in network tab.

I have to get request header in beforeSend, success & complete.

as user milkovsky suggested in another post :

$.ajax({ type:"POST", beforeSend: function (request) { request.setRequestHeader("Authority", authorizationToken); }, url: "entities", data: "json=" + escape(JSON.stringify(createRequestObject)), processData: false, success: function(msg) { $("#results").append("The result =" + StringifyPretty(msg)); } });

that's an example of custom headers.
