X-Requested-With header not set in jquery ajaxForm plugin

Question

I\'m using the jQuery ajaxForms plugin to make an ajax submit to my CakePHP app.

Cake\'s RequestHandler detects ajax requests by looking at the \"X-Requested-With\

New development:

As of now, the jquery.form plugin now supports multipart (including file) Uploads very well , in a cross-browser compatible way, and sets the X-Requested-With header. I was having this problem with an older version of jquery.form and the upgrade to 3.02 fixed it!
