Method of an ajax request

Is there any way to know what is the method (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE) of an ajax request in Javascript or Jquery?

I went through the docs but I couldn't get a solution. My aim is to set headers if the ajax request is not of GET method.

I was able to solve this.

$(document).ajaxSend(function(e, xhr, options) {
    if(options.type != "GET") {
        xhr.setRequestHeader(HEADER, VALUE);
    }
});

options gives the type of the request that's being made.

Thank you everyone for help!

Instead of using jQuery for making AJAX calls, recommend using either native fetch or in case you need to support older browsers you can use https://github.com/github/fetch.

By default AJAX calls will be GET calls. If you want to use another HTTP method, then you need to set the method as an option. For example using native fetch

fetch('someURL', {
  credentials: 'same-origin',
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify(payload),
});

Another good read is https://davidwalsh.name/fetch.

This is while making the ajax call. If you want to what was the original call made from the response you get, unless the server explicitly sets the value in the header, I don't think you will be able to figure that out.
