Hello, 

I am working on a cross platform application that targets Android and iOS platforms. I am using jQuery 1.9.1, Jquery Mobile 1.3.1 and Phonegap 2.8.0. 

I want to send an ajax request and set the request headers "Connection" and "Keep-Alive". On Android Phones with OS greater than 4.1 (Whose default browser is Chrome) I get an error which says "Refused to set unsafe header "Connection"". 

I am able to send such requests on lower end devices and even on iPhones. 

Can Anyone Please help me out. 

I have to set these 2 headers in the request. 

Thanks in advance.

I hit the same error on Android but also with the Content-length header

In my case, all I had to do was comment out the offending header settings  from the script and everything seemed to work fine.

Thank you Michael for your reply. By "the script" do you mean your code where you set the request header or were using another plugin of sorts ?
