Hi mlagneaux ,
Thanks for quick response.

I am step ahead now , i have followed below link

http://gagravarr.livejournal.com/145561.html

Now i am able to make call from header addition from chrome extension.

But , Now i as stuck at " How can i add HTTP header from / in Webscript in Javascript webscript"

can you please tell me how to add HTTP header in webscript alfresco.?

Actually i know i can setup CAS authentication but it 'll take time and also one time login of user , If i can set header from within webscript( Javascript or Java) thenit would be easy.

Please guide me also to validate my approach.

Thanks and Regards
