Instead of using the beforeSend method of setting the request headers, I decided I wanted to look into using the headers setting option of a jQuery $.ajax() call. Naturally, I went to this page here, http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/, but the documentation is scarce and I can't find any way to set multiple headers and the format for doing so on that page, or anywhere else.
@tahir: Then why is this not working?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Multiple DnD Uploader</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<script type = "text/javascript" src = "../music/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#drop').change(function(event){
files = event.target.files;
$('#drop').css('display', 'none');
for(var i = 0, len = files.length; i < len; i++) {
alert(files[i].fileName);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "uploader.php",
contentType: "multipart/form-data",
headers: {
"X-File-Name" : ""+files[i].fileName,
"X-File-Size" : ""+files[i].fileSize
},
data: 'hi',
success: function(data){
$('#info').append('Success: ' + data + '<br />');
},error: function(data){
$('#info').append('Error: ' + data + '<br />');
}
});
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="drop">
<h1>Drop files here</h1>
<p>To add them as attachments</p>
<input type="file" multiple="true" id="filesUpload" />
</div>
<div id="info">
</div>
</body>
</html>
The two X-File-Name and X-File-Size attributes aren't showing up in the request headers.
SOLUTION: I feel really stupid, turns out the particular jquery.js file I was pointing to was 1.4.4, so I upgraded and now it works! Thanks.

It says:
A map of additional header key/value pairs to send along with the request. This setting is set before the beforeSend function is called; therefore, any values in the headers setting can be overwritten from within the beforeSend function.
So all you have to do is to pass an object like:
{"header1":"value1","header2":"value2"}
and so on. Here is some code that adds Accept header in a post request:
$.ajax("relative/url/action.do",{
success: function(){
alert("success");
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
alert(textStatus + ": " + jqXHR.responseText );
},
headers: {Accept: "application/json"},
type : "POST"
});
