To identify an AJAX request with Boost::Beast, you can check for the X-Requested-With header in the HTTP request headers. AJAX requests usually include this header with a value of "XMLHttpRequest".
Here's an example code snippet:
http::request<http::string_body> req = ...; // your HTTP request object
auto it = req.find(http::field::sec_websocket_key);
if (it != req.end()) {
// this is a WebSocket handshake request
} else {
// check for AJAX request
it = req.find(http::field::user_agent);
if (it != req.end() && boost::icontains(it->value(), "XMLHttpRequest")) {
// this is an AJAX request
} else {
// normal HTTP request
}
}
In this example, we first check for the Sec-WebSocket-Key header to identify a WebSocket handshake request. If that header is not present, we then look for the User-Agent header and see if it contains the string "XMLHttpRequest" to identify an AJAX request. If neither of those headers are present, we assume it's a normal HTTP request.
