    copied!<p>I'm querying a REST webservice which uses custom http headers for authentication.</p> <p>If I perform a POST without the headers I'm getting the expected error, but when I add the headers I get a 404 error instead of what I actually need.</p> <p>This is my code</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: 'http://server.com/service', beforeSend: function (xhr) { xhr.setRequestHeader('CUSTOM-HEADER-KEY', 'CUSTOM-HEADER-VALUE') }, success: function(data) { alert('success.'); } }); </code></pre> <p>Here's the firebug headers output:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>OPTIONS</strong> /service HTTP/1.1 Host: server.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:8.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0.1 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,<em>/</em>;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Connection: keep-alive Origin: null Access-Control-Request-Method: POST <strong>Access-Control-Request-Headers: custom-header-key</strong> Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache</p> </blockquote> <p>and the smae headers when performing the post with poster, which returns desired result.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>POST</strong> /service HTTP/1.1 Host: server.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:8.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0.1 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,<em>/</em>;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Connection: keep-alive <strong>CUSTOM-HEADER-KEY: CUSTOM-HEADER-VALUE</strong> Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache Content-Length: 0</p> </blockquote> <p>The difference is pretty obvious, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong in the jquery code.</p> <p>Could anyone help me please?</p>
