POST Parameters

We are testing a bot-detection tool on our community and see false positives being triggered on some of the pages, which we suspect is a result of the the autosave behavior that happens every 30 seconds. We are trying to determine if there is any difference in terms of POST arguments, HTTP headers, or query strings that will distinguish an autosave POST from the final submit one. Based on our testing, we see the POST parameter “autosave: true” that is being used by the app when message is saved, and the final POST for message submissions does not use this parameter. Can anyone confirm that the distinction between the POST arguments is correct or if there are any other differences we could use to distinguish between autosave and the final post?
