[javascript] AJAX post error : Refused to set unsafe header "Connection"

I have the following custom ajax function that posts data back to a PHP file. Everytime the post of data happens I get the following two errors :

Refused to set unsafe header "Content-length"
Refused to set unsafe header "Connection"

Code :

function passposturl(url1, params, obj)
{
    //url1 = url1+"&sid="+Math.random();
    xmlHttp = get_xmlhttp_obj();
    xmlHttp.loadflag = obj;
    xmlHttp.open("POST", url1, true);
    //alert(url1);
    //alert(params);
    //alert(obj);
    //alert(params.length);
    xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
    xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
    xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function ()
    {
        stateChanged(xmlHttp);
    };
    xmlHttp.send(params);
 }

What am I doing wrong?
