Request Headers for a4j:support (3.3.0 GA)

[joachimhb]

Hello,

I had expected that, when using the a4j:support, tag that there was a Request Header set for the header "X-Requested-With", with a value of "XMLHttpRequest"

Listing the request Headers that are sent with the request, I get the following headers:

header name: Host
header name: User-Agent
header name: Content-Type
header name: Cache-Control
header name: Referer
header name: Origin
header name: Accept
header name: Accept-Language
header name: Accept-Encoding
header name: Cookie
header name: Content-Length
header name: Connection

Is it any way I can determine if the request is, in fact, an Ajax Request ?

RichFaces AJAX request has no special headers but 'AJAXREQUEST' parameter instead. That is workaround for some old browsers ( Opera 6.x and 7.x, as I remember ) where XMLHttpRequest object had bug in the header-related methods.

Hello alex,

Thank you for your reply. Checking for the AJAXREQUEST parameter works well.
