JavaScript/jQuery client for REST web services

Question

I am a beginner to REST web services and am building a client JavaScript library for my application which needs to do some AJAX calls to the server. Both are hosted on the same domain as to not cause any cross-domain problems in the case of Mozilla/Chrome. The server-side implementation needs to know the username and password (both embedded) of the GET request coming in, something like:

request.open(reqtype,url,async,username,pwd)

How can i do this in jQuery?

jquery.get()

$.ajax({
  url: url,
  data: data,
  success: success,
  dataType: dataType
});

Is there any embedded option of sending username and password for the REST service in the request using $.get()?

Read the jQuery documentation for their AJAX API first, http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax, http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post and http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get. For username and password do not do a GET as it will send them as querystring values. Do a POST.
