I have different logic in an action depends if the request is an AJAX one or not.
(For AJAX logins, I do not need to redirect after successful login, which is not the case in normal login, for example).
What is the best way, beside checking the headers for X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
Is there a flag or something?

    This method works by checking for a header which is set by almost (if not) all of the major JS libraries, including jQuery and YUI.

    $this->getRequest()->isXmlHttpRequest() //returns true if is XHR

    The method detailed by smack0007 is guaranteed to be accurate, but the method above is fine if the connection is always made by a library which sets the header. It is probably not suitable for a public API.
