#13755 closed Bug (fixed)

Description

Sending different response depending on HttpRequest.is_ajax() breaks Django cache middleware (an possibly others).

Easy fix is use vary_on_headers('HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH') decorator and I think this practice should be documented near is_ajax method ​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpRequest.is_ajax
