I'm not sure if there is a clear way to do it with the autocomplete options and whether it's possible to modify the ajax call within autocomplete directly. You can try using jQuery's $.ajax() 'beforeSend' callback option. http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.ajax#toptions Set that option using jQuery's $.ajaxSetup(). Note that this is global setter, so it'll may affect your other ajax calls.
