Figure 8-10. This HTTP POST references AJAX

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a client-side approach to creating interactive web applications that retrieve information from a server in the background. While you might expect that after the private message is sent to the client’s browser, the session would be redirected to another page (as with the Twitter direct message), that doesn’t happen. In this case, the use of AJAX probably means that the message is sent from some type of interactive pop-up, rather than from an individual page, which means that no redirection or reloading of content is necessary. This is one of the benefits of some AJAX implementations.

You can examine the content of this private message by expanding the Line-based Text Data portion of packet 2, as shown in Figure 8-11. As with Twitter, it appears as though Facebook’s private messages are sent unencrypted.
