I agree with sunetos that you'll have to use the $.ajax function in order to pass request headers. In order to do that, you'll have to write a function for the beforeSend event handler, which is one of the $.ajax() options. Here's a quick sample on how to do that:

  
    
    
  
  
    
Some Text
  

If you run the code above and watch the traffic in a tool like Fiddler, you'll see two requests headers passed in:

• securityCode with a value of Foo
• passkey with a value of Bar

The setHeader function could also be inline in the $.ajax options, but I wanted to call it out.

Hope this helps!
