How to control the header attributes in a Javascript POST?

Question

Is there a way to post data with javascript, but set the attributes such as content type, referrer, user agent, etc. From what I can tell, the only data I can post is plain variables instead of application/x-www-form-urlencoded data.

There are similar questions on SO (duplicates): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3759575/custom-headers-with-ajax-type-jsnop-or-json

You can use .setRequestHeader( 'referer', 'foo' ) or jQuery.Ajax();

You cannot use `jQuery.post()` to control headers. You can use Ajax to set the headers. Half right – Ruan Mendes Dec 13 '11 at 17:40
