Question

I’m currently using this to check if the request is an ajax request:

if ( ! Request::$is_ajax || Request::instance() == $this->request)
{
    exit;
}

If I try to access the page directly it’ll exit, but if I make an ajax request, it’ll also exit. I also tried just:

if ( ! Request::$is_ajax)
{
    exit;
}

And vice versa, but the script still exits everytime. If I remove the check, the ajax works as normal. Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks.

1. When you are using Ajax,
   Request::instance() ===
$this->request is TRUE. Use this
   condition for HMVC calls.
2. Kohana marks request as Ajax when
   $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']
== 'xmlhttprequest' condition is TRUE. Check your client headers
   (with firebug for example), maybe
   your JS doesnt send this header. Or,
   may be you are using flash uploader?
