Can I set headers in cross domain json requests?

Question

I have done some research on the internet, but I didn\'t manage to get the complete picture about this subject. Can anyone help to solve this answer for now and forever?

Answer 1

If you are using JSONP for making cross-origin request - then the answer is no, you can't set HTTP headers on such requests. If you are using CORS for making cross-origin requests - then the answer is yes, since you are using plain XHR to make the request: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing.
