Swift: Adding Headers to my REST POST Request

I am still learning Swift and I am trying to make a POST request to my web service via my new iOS App written in Swift.

I need to know how to add 2 headers to my already existing code. Also am I adding the parameters correctly?

What I have so far:

let myUrl = NSURL(string: "https://MY-MOBILE-SERVICE.azure-mobile.net/api/login");
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL:myUrl!);
request.HTTPMethod = "POST";

// Compose a query string
   
let postString = "[email protected]&password=123";

request.HTTPBody = postString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding);

let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request) {
    data, response, error in
    
    if error != nil
    {
        print("error=\(error)")
        return
    }
    
    print("response = \(response)")
}

task.resume()

Here are the Headers I need to add to this request:

X-ZUMO-APPLICATION: 45634243542434

ACCEPT: application/json

How do I attach these headers to my request?

if you use alamofire, this should work, it also eases things for you so you choose get or post

var pars2 : Dictionary<String,String> = ["api_key":"value"]
Alamofire.request(.POST, "someURLString" ,parameters: pars2).responseJSON()
{
        (request, response, data, error) in
        if(data != nil)
        {
            self.countryIDArray.removeAll(keepCapacity: false)
            var status = data!["status"]!! as! String
        }
}

Have a look at the reference docs: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSMutableURLRequest_Class/#//apple_ref/occ/instm/NSMutableURLRequest/setValue:forHTTPHeaderField:

so you would do: request.setValue("ACCEPT" forHTTPHeaderField: "application/json")
