The POST and GET data are done very easily with ajax. I can't find a way to 'include' a cookie. How can I include a 'cookie'?

There is no way to explicitly add a cookie to an XMLHttpRequest request (or for any of the other techniques used for Ajax). The setRequestHeader method explicitly forbids setting cookies.

You need to add a cookie through the normal methods (i.e. via the HTTP Set-Cookie response header and the JS document.cookie API) and then make the request.

You'll also need to set xml.withCredentials = true; for a cross-origin request (and the cookie will need to belong to the host you are making the request to, not the document hosting the JS making the request).
