If you write your own XMLHttpRequest call (on the browser side), you'll
have to set this header manually if you want ``is_ajax()`` to work.
+ If a response varies on whether or not it's requested via AJAX and you are
+ using some form of caching like Django's :mod:`cache middleware
+ <django.middleware.cache>`, you should decorate the view with
+ :func:`vary_on_headers('HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH')
+ <django.views.decorators.vary.vary_on_headers>` so that the responses are
+ properly cached.
