Answer 1

Using jQuery's ajax method, I will send headers like this:

$.ajax({       
    url: varUrl, // Location of the service  
    headers: {
        "Test": "Test-Value", // "Header-name" : "Header-value"          
    }       
});

In WCF, I will consume headers like this:

//retrieve your header value using "Header-name"...    
WebOperationContext current = WebOperationContext.Current;
WebHeaderCollection headers = current.IncomingRequest.Headers;
string Test= current.IncomingRequest.Headers.GetValues("Test")[0].ToString();
