How do I pass custom header through web browser for Windows Phone 8?

How do I pass custom header through web browser on the windows phone 8? Eg I need to pass 4 values which are

User_Model=Nokia 920
User_Device_Width=768
User_Name=USERNAME
User_Password=PASSWORD

In PHP this is how it looks like. Not sure how do I implement it into C# for Windows Phone 8 development.

<?php
$uri = 'http://test.local/index.php?action=123';
$ch = curl_init($uri);
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER  => array('USER_Model:Nokia 920', 'USER_DEVICE_WIDTH:768', 'USER_NAME:USERNAME', 'USER_PASSWORD:PASSWORD'),
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER  =>true,
    CURLOPT_VERBOSE     => 1
));
$out = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
// echo response output?>

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
        <?php echo $out; ?>
    </div>
    <div id="placeholder"></div>

    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script>
        $(function() {
            var xhr;
            try{
                xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
            }catch (e){
                try{
                    xhr = new XDomainRequest();
                } catch (e){
                    try{
                        xhr = new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.XMLHTTP');
                    }catch (e){
                        try{
                            xhr = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');
                        }catch (e){
                            alert('\nYour browser is not' + ' compatible with XHR2');                           
                        }
                    }
                }
            }               
        });
    </script>
</body> 
</html>

Thanks in advance!

After months of trying to sort out how this could actually be done, I've finally managed to add the headers to the web browser.

So here is what I did.

private bool firstload = true; 
//Define the headers
string AdditionalHeaders = "USER_MODEL:" + phoneModel + "USER_DEVICE_WIDTH:" + deviceWidth + "USER_NAME:" + USERNAME + "\r\User_Password=" + PASSWORD; 

public void loadsite() 
{ 
  webBroswer.Navigate(new Uri("http://www.xhaus.com/headers"), null, AdditionalHeaders); 
  webBrowser.Navigating += webBrowser_Navigating; 
} 

//  This is done so that when navigating to any pages, the header will still be attached to the webbrowser.
void webBroswer_Navigating(object sender, NavigatingEventArgs e) 
{ 
  if (firstload == true) 
    { 
      // This is to prevent it from looping the same page
      firstload = false; 
    } 
  else 
  { 
    string url = e.Uri.ToString(); 

    webBroswer.Navigate(new Uri(url, Urikind.Absolute), null, AdditionalHeaders); 
    firstload= true;
  }
}

I'm not sure if it's done correctly but never the less, it worked for my project.

xhr have method

void setRequestHeader(
   DOMString header,
   DOMString value
);

So simply 

xhr.setRequestHeader("Name", "value");
