window.open with headers

by

Can I control the HTTP headers sent by window.open (cross browser)?

No

If not, can I somehow window.open a page that then issues my request with custom headers inside its popped-up window?

  • You can request a URL that triggers a server side program which makes the request with arbitrary headers and then returns the response
  • You can run JavaScript (probably saying goodbye to Progressive Enhancement) that uses XHR to make the request with arbitrary headers (assuming the URL fits within the Same Origin Policy) and then process the result in JS.

I need some cunning hacks…

It might help if you described the problem instead of asking if possible solutions would work.
