Simulate XHRs With Wget

06.05.2010

| 4307 views |

        To test AJAX calls when developing a webapp, XHRs can be simulated by wget:

wget --header="X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest" <your-url-here>


wget saves the request to a file by default. To print to the command line:

wget --header="X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest" -qO- <your-url-here>
