AngularJS $resource not sending X-Requested-With

Question

I\'m using angular 1.1.5 and I\'m using a $resource to make a XHR to a REST service but it seems like the the $resource isn\'t appending the header as X-Requested-With as XM

Answer 1

It used to but was changed. (see here)

"X-Requested-With header is rarely used in practice and by using it all the time we are triggering preflight checks for crossdomain requests."

From Thomas Pons' answer here.
