I would do user checks in a component from onRequest and then use a proxy cfc
for your ajax requests. Using onRequest, you can check the url and if it is the
proxy cfc, then do your user credential checks before allowing access.
Otherwise, you'll need to use the client scope in your cfc
Even if it is a remote cfc call it's still a request that fires

Not sure where this goes in CF5.5. Place it in your error handler.
!---if the request is ajax, throw an error that can be
returned to the client in a basic string and then log the error as usual---
cfset requestHeaders = getHTTPRequestData().headers
Check firebug (how many times do people say this?)
If you throw a 500 and abort after, the client should treat the response as an
error. You need to configure the client too, not just put in cfheader

I use a cfc that checks to see if the method being called is from within the

otherwise abort the request. If you are doing cross site requests, pass a

Is it ajax?
