JSON Post with Customized HTTPHeader Field

Question

I have inherited some code that will eventually be part of an API call  Based on the existing code  the call is a post to retrieve JSON code with an access token  While this would normally be simple and like every other API out there  this code requires that there be a customized httpheader field for the client secret    I was able to make this work in Objective C with URLRequest  etc  but now that I am creating the call for a web component  I have been roadblocked    I am using a pretty standard jquery post            post  https   url com             access token  XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX            function data              console info data                json      With a HTTP-EQUIV in the header  But the post never retrieves data and the server itself doesn t recognized that any call was made  even an incomplete one    I may have to scrap this code and start over  but if anyone has encountered this problem before  please offer any insight

Just wanted to update this thread for future developers.

JQuery >1.12 Now supports being able to change every little piece of the request through JQuery.post ($.post({...}). see second function signature in https://api.jquery.com/jquery.post/

if one wants to use  post   then this will set headers for all future request made with jquery    ajaxSetup       headers             Content-Type    application json            Accept    application json              then make your  post   calls as normal

What you posted has a syntax error  but it makes no difference as you cannot pass HTTP headers via   post     Provided you re on jQuery version    1 5  switch to   ajax   and pass the headers  docs  option   If you re on an older version of jQuery  I will show you how to do it via the beforeSend option      ajax       url   https   url com       type   post       data            access token   XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX             headers            Header Name One   Header Value One       If your header name has spaces or any other char not appropriate          Header Name Two    Header Value Two     for object property name  use quoted notation shown in second            dataType   json       success  function  data            console info data
