HTTP is a protocol. Part of that protocol is the concept of request headers. When an xhr happens, text is exchanged between the client and server. Request headers are part of the text that the client sends to the server.
This is a way to set the request headers. The arguments you see are
1) the header to set (in this case, Content-type)
2) the header value. (in this case, x-www-form-urlencoded)
