Perhaps we remove it, but add code there to allow custom headers to be set.
That way if someone needs some additional headers set (or needs to specify
that the "Connection: close" for some reason,) they can.
Something like this would be easy to add to the jQuery source:
ajaxSettings: {
global: true,
type: "GET",
timeout: 0,
contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
processData: true,
async: true,
data: null,
headers: {}
},
// pass in additional headers
for( var k in s ) xml.setRequestHeader(k, s[k]);
Now you could add additional headers very easily.
