Re: Ajax header not sent in all browsers

If you simplify things down to something like the snippets below, does
the alert display 'Said it was NOT ajax' for you? It shouldn't (and
doesn't for me).

Also, do you have the Tamper Data Firefox add-on installed to validate
the headers being sent in? That could help narrow things down.

urls.py:

(r'^isajax/?$', 'some_site.views.is_ajax_worky'),

views.py:

def is_ajax_worky(request):
ajax_header = request.META.get('HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH', 'None')
if request.is_ajax():
return HttpResponse('Said it WAS ajax. header=' + ajax_header)
return HttpResponse('Said it was NOT ajax. header=' + ajax_header)

test.html:

<noscript>This test requires javascript!</noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/
libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$.get('/isajax', function(data) {
alert(data);
});
});
</script>
