title: Determine if ajax request is of type POST or GET in ASP.NET MVC3
body: <p>For exception handling purposes I would like to know if an ajax request was made with POST or GET, but can't find out how to do it.</p>
  
  <p>I got this far:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>var request = filterContext.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.GetType();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Am I on the right track at all?</p>
