I'm using Laravel and trying to send a form via XMLHttpRequest. It works but the request in the controller doesn't identify it as ajax. The form has a csrf input.
I've tried several things, right now my code looks like:
...
XHR.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
XHR.setRequestHeader("X-CSRFToken", FD.get("_token"));
...
But Laravel keeps sending a 419 | Page Expired response.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting this information, barking at the wrong tree, or I'm missing something here.
Try to add X-Requested-With header to your request and change your content header to multipart or json :
XHR.setRequestHeader("X-Requested-With", 'XMLHttpRequest');
XHR.setRequestHeader("Content-type", 'multipart/form-data'); // or application/json
XHR.setRequestHeader("X-CSRF-Token", FD.get("_token"));
