For details on the settings available for $.ajaxSetup(), see $.ajax().

All subsequent Ajax calls using any function will use the new settings, unless overridden by the individual calls, until the next invocation of $.ajaxSetup().

Note: The settings specified here will affect all calls to $.ajax or Ajax-based derivatives such as $.get().

Instead, set the options explicitly in the call or define a simple plugin to do so.
