Yes, add a pipe character after the url to specify headers:

Code:
http://www.example.com/foo.jpg|referer=xbmc.org&cookie=ladjkfhauhflen0287346ohui

Remember to urlencode all of the parameter values

The whole value from = to = will be set to the associated header. Since your value contains =, you'll need to escape it by urlencoding the parameter. %3D is the urlencoded equivalent of =, so you'll want something like this:

Code:
http://www.example.com/foo.jpg|cookie=cname%3Dcdata
