Detect if HTTP request is from browser / Flex asynchronous request?

Question

When Flex application make an asynchronus HTTP request, does it add a special header to the request, like some JavaScript framework does? Something that indicates whether this request is an AJAX call/not.

I just want my server side code to return different response format, depending on whether the request is made from browser/flex.

No, but you can add your own headers. Maybe a better solution is to customize the request (add a parameter to distinguish between requests).
