How to send data in header using websocket?

Question

I'd like to send an apikey in header but not in url.

Answer 1

Here an example, using setRequestHeader to send headers keys

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("POST", "ws://api.abc.com/users", true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Abc-Application-Id", "application id");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Abc-ApiKey", "the apikey"); xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState == 4) {
var result = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
if (result.object) {
alert("Received api object: " + result.object);
}
}
}

var data = JSON.stringify({ data: "user data" });
xhr.send(data);
