Hi all,
Should we send the X-Requested-With header [1] in AJAX calls as many
other libraries do? Most libraries include this non-standardized header
to show the server that the request is an AJAX-call.
In my particluar case a symfony backend would send different output
depending on whether an URL is retrieved via AJAX or the usual way.
I can provide a patch if that is desired, something roughly looking like
this:

function fXMLHttpRequest_send(oRequest) {
+ // always set the X-Requested-With:-header
+ oRequest._object.setRequestHeader("X-Requested-With",
"XMLHttpRequest");
+
oRequest._object.send(oRequest._data);
// BUGFIX: Gecko - missing readystatechange calls in
synchronous requests
Best regards,
Marc
