Lighthouse has a new layout. Prefer the old one? Return to the old layout, and switch back any time from the link at the top of each page.

CPURLConnection (and presumably anything related) don't use the HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH header

#231

If I use CPURLConnection to request a resource, it doesn't include the de-facto standard "HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH = XMLHttpRequest" which all other major JS libraries do.

The resource I am accessing depends on this header to return a json/xml response rather than the fully rendered html page. This is the preferred approach to adding in query parameters for choosing response type.

    Hi Andrew, could you point me to a resource that better explains this?

    I first encountered it when using AJAX with Django, this link explains that the major JS libraries use the header:

    http://docs.djangoproject.com/en....http.HttpRequest.is_ajax

    I've not been able to find a definitive reference for this, but it seems to be an emerging standard.

    For example, on a site I'm developing, I've made the search result pages use this header to determine whether to render the full html or to just return a JSON representation of the content. If I can get cappuccino to use this header I can make utilities built on top of the site just by accessing the normal site but with AJAX requests - no need for a seperate API.
