I have some pages set up so that they respond only to ajax requests. The thing is that how can I set it up so that if someone tries to send the requests via a browser window i.e by typing them out – they don’t run and that they run only when an ajax call is made. The pages are in php here
There’s no reliabale way to distinguish an AJAX request from a normal request. Some libraries such as jQuery will append an additional
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequestHTTP header to the request, but others might not. You could forge an AJAX request using the low level objects provided by the browser that looks exactly the same as a normal request so don’t rely much.
