Issue related to ajax requests causing session logout

First, there are a number of reasons for upgrading from 2.1.4 to 2.2.2, even if it doesn't fix your current issue. As far as I can tell, the bug fix you're referencing can be found here: https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter/c...b181e6f4f0

Whether the "fix" will help or not, I don't know. You might be better off looking into what it would take to move to CI 3.
