DESCRIPTION

CGI::Application::Plugin::DetectAjax adds is_ajax method to your CGI::Application modules which detects whether the current request was made by XMLHttpRequest.

METHODS

is_ajax

This method will return true if the current request was made by XMLHttpRequest and false otherwise. It works by checking for 'X-Requested-With' header and its value.
