Recognize datatables ajax request

fischer

Description of problem: Hello, I'd like to recognize in the backend requests made by the datatables library. Does the library issue any specific headers with its requests?

I used the browser's Network Inspector tool to look at the request headers in this example. I didn't see anything Datatables specific. Although @allan can confirm. You could send your own customer header. See the ajax docs for details, specifically the Object Type.

@kthorngren Thank you. What exactly do I have to do to use the ajax option with custom headers? In the link you provided, I cannot find a mention of headers.

Please refer to the jQuery documentation for a full description of the options available, although the following parameters provide additional options in DataTables or require special consideration:
