You can use the setRequestHeader method from XMLHttpRequest.

var httprequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
httprequest.setRequestHeader('Accept', 'application/json');
httprequest.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
httprequest.setRequestHeader('Accept-Language', 'en-us');

To retrieve a specific header from the response when you need them, use the getResponseHeader method. To get all of them, use getAllResponseHeaders.

var contentType = httprequest.getResponseHeader('Content-Type');
var responseHeaders = httprequest.getAllResponseHeaders();

A full list of the available methods can be found in MDN's XMLHttpRequest page. Take a look at it if you are interested.
