Fixed #6616 -- Added an is_ajax() method to HttpRequest that uses the de facto
standard header for detecting an XmlHttpRequest call. Thanks, Daniel Lindsley. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@7334 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37

Returns ``True`` if the request is secure; that is, if it was made with
HTTPS.
+``is_ajax()``
+ **New in Django development version**
+
+ Returns ``True`` if the request was made via an XMLHttpRequest by checking
+ the ``HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH`` header for the string *'XMLHttpRequest'*. The
+ following major Javascript libraries all send this header:
+
+ * jQuery
+ * Dojo
+ * MochiKit
+ * MooTools
+ * Prototype
+ * YUI
+
+ If you write your own XMLHttpRequest call (on the browser side), you will
+ have to set this header manually to use this method.
