How to send additional data with GET,POST,PUT,DELETE?

Question

For rest security I want to send an application key and a hash with every request. Actually I would like to have it as url parameter like

 DELETE api.project.com/model/1?client=12345?hash=abcdef

Do you see any problem with this? Is there another way to send this data?

You should use Authorization HTTP header in request. If you send it as a query parameter it can be cached in many places i.e. user's browser, http caching proxy which may lead to leak of user's credentials.
