laravel 5.1 Request::ajax return false

Question

Hello i use same script for Laravel 4.2 and Laravel 5.1 and problem is for Laravel 4.2 work perfectly, but on Laravel 5.1 i can't understand why it's return bad result

Problem is why I got $request->ajax() false for Laravel 5.1?

routes.php

Route::post('/upload-image', [
    'as' => 'upload-image-post',
    'uses' => 'PageController@profileImage'
]);

PageController.php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class PageController extends Controller
{

    public function profileImage(Request $request) 
    {
        //here is problem
        //result good: (Laravel 4.2 shows true)
        //result bad: (Laravel 5.1 shows false)
        var_dump($request->ajax());
    }

}

upload-image.blade.php (js)

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $('#upload_image').click(function(event) {
        $('#image').trigger('click');
    });

    $('#image').change(function(event) {
        /* Act on the event */
        $('#imageform').submit();
    });

    $('#imageform').ajaxForm({      
        beforeSubmit: function() {  
        },
        success: function(msg) {
        },
        error: function(request, status, error) {

        },
        complete: function(xhr) {
            if(xhr.status != 401) {
                $('#image').val('');
                result = xhr.responseText;
                result = $.parseJSON(result);

                if( !$.isEmptyObject(result.file_base_url) ) {
                    var img = new Image();
                    img.onload = function() {
                        $('#register_profile_photo').attr('src', img.src);
                        $('#register_profile_photo').attr('alt', result.image_alt);
                        //spinner.stop();
                        $('#upload-image-error').text('');  
                    }
                    img.src = result.file_base_url;
                } else {
                    $('#upload-image-error').text(result.image[0]); 
                }

            }   
        }
    });
});

upload-image.blade.php (html)

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" name='imageform' role="form" id="imageform" method="post" action="{!! route('upload-image-post') !!}">
    {!! csrf_field() !!}
    <div style="display:none;">
        <input type="file" name="image" id="image" placeholder="Please choose your image" >
    </div>
</form>

<div class="profile-img">
    <img style="float: right" id="register_profile_photo" src="default.png" alt="Default image">
    <div style="float: right" class="img-edit"><a href="javascript:void(0);" id="upload_image">Edit picture</a></div>
</div>

PS. If you test for laravel 4.2 this code need change from "{!! .. !!}" to "{{ .. }}"

try $request->wantsJson() instead, it relies on the standard Accepts header instead of the non-standard X-Requested-With header. This may be a duplicate of this question — Jeff Lambert

@J.Kol, try watcher's method. He is correct and he already understood the problem. — manix

I do not think this problem is caused by Laravel version. Laravel sources show, that ajax() call is propagated to Symfony's request component. And that source changed good 5 years back.

You should trace if X-Requested-With header is sent to your application in both cases. You can also set breakpoint to Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request::isXmlHttpRequest() and see what you have in headers.
