Random Thoughts of the Day

This is just sort of a rambling of general thoughts that by themselves don't amount to much but all of them together might make for a nice blog entry, I thought.

JQuery Tip: Recognizing AJAX Requests on the Server

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 21:38:00 GMT

I discovered an interesting gem today while inspecting the header data for a web application I am working on. When you use JQuery to send an AJAX request to the server, JQuery places a nice little header entry:

X-Requested-With : XMLHttpRequest

Before, I would typically just stick something in the request params to signify an AJAX request. This is not life changing or anything by any means but it sure was nice of the JQuery folks to do this for me. Now I don't have to do it myself.
