What replaced is_ajax() is django 4

[Jet Ezra]

Hello team.

Am sending jquery requests in django 4 but I have just realised that checking if the requests were from jquery using is_ajax and then perform ajax related actions is not possible. What is replacing this, and why would such a cool feature be removed.

Thanks

Reason why:

Documentation in release notes:

Cool, all I have realised is that if someone is specifically doing a jquery powered application, they can just write it and use it on their own using the below code

```py

def is_ajax():

     return request.headers.get('x-requested-with') == 'XMLHttpRequest'

```

And that's it! It will start checking if the code was from jquery, but for none Jquery, the docs ellaborate more here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/releases/3.1/#id2
