Detecting if specific jQuery.get() is in progress?

How do you detect if a specific ajax request is in progress, I can use done and fail to detect when it is finished and on fail, but is there a way to find if it is in progress?

var prog = false;
var ajxReq = $.get(url, function (response) {
    // insert response into container
})
.done (function () { prog = false; })
.fail (function () { });

var prog1 = false;
var ajxReq1 = $.get(url, function (response) {
    // insert response into container
})
.done (function () { prog1 = false; })
.fail (function () { });

I want to change prog variable value to true if ajxReq in progress and prog1 variable value to true if ajxReq1 in progress

If you are looking for something for all your application's ajax then you can always use ajaxStart and ajaxStop for that:

var isAjaxRunning = false;

$(document).ajaxStart(function() {
     isAjaxRunning = true;
});

$(document).ajaxStop(function() {
      isAjaxRunning = false;
});

http://api.jquery.com/ajaxstart/
http://api.jquery.com/ajaxstop/

Otherwise simply do something like this:

var prog = false;
var ajxReq = $.get(url, function (response) {
    prog = true; 
    // insert response into container
})
.done (function () { prog = false; })
