beforeSend in $.ajaxSetup + beforeSend in $.ajax

Question

To solve the CSRF problem, I use a client-side setup for Ajax:

$.ajaxSetup({
    beforeSend: function(xhr, settings) {
        function getCookie(name) {
            


        

Answer 1

Use $(document).ajaxSend(function(ev, jqhr, settings) { ... }) instead of .ajaxSetup.

As you said .ajaxSetup defines a default handler which then can be overriden. With .ajaxSend you can register multiple handlers to fire before an ajax request is sent. Works fine with custom beforeSend handler.
