Using JS to submit a form with Custom HTTP Headers?

Question

I need to submit a form and include some custom http headers with the request (the API requires them).

Something like jQuery.ajax() works great (https://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/), I can use the beforeSend arg to compose some headers.

However I need this for a synchronous request, to direct the browser to the destination of the form. So one of the following two would work, but I'm not sure if a solution exists.

Have JS create and submit a form. How do I include custom http headers in a form?
Find an equivalent function to jQuery.ajax(), that will submit a synchronous request.

jQuery.ajax has a property async which can be set to true or false.

async false would make it a synchronous request.

Sorry I should have clarified - needed it to be synchronous and take the user to that page in the same window, like the behavior of a regular form. I'll edit the question to clarify.
