I found this post with a web search (two months later, I know) and just wanted to share another solution.

You can add custom headers without monkey patching Mechanize using a pre-connect hook:

  agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
  agent.pre_connect_hooks << lambda { |p|
    p[:request]['X-Requested-With'] = 'XMLHttpRequest'
  }
