How to identify requests made by a Flash or JavaScript client?

Question

On the server, is it possible to identify requests made by the Flash client running in the browser and requests made using the usual XMLHttpRequest?

I noticed that requests made using flash have this header:

X-Requested-With:ShockwaveFlash/25.0.0.127

Is this a standard header or is this behavior different for different versions of the browser \ flash?
