Hmmm... I don't quite understand the requirement. Is it that browser-side Ajax requests need tuneable headers? If so, can you suggest an API for doing this? What does the JavaScript look like?

Dear David,

Unfortunately I don't have much time to actually work on these tickets. To answer your question "Is it that browser-side Ajax requests need tuneable headers?"... Yes, I think it worth allowing users to even send custom HTTP headers. Thus one could invoke REST API's from web interface and sometimes the REST API's need meta information in custom headers.

I'm thinking of something like:

def ajaxInvoke(headers: List[(String, String)], func: () => JsCmd)

the header parameters would be passed to the liftAjax.lift_ajaxHandler JS function call. Internally this JS function would need to obtain the XMLHTTPReques object and call setRequestHeader to actually set the HTTP headers.



Br's,
Marius
