No ideas? Should I file a bug report?

Thanks for your reply.
Accept header relate to that which the client is able, and prefers, to
accept. The content-type header is used to describe the content of the
media entity being transmitted. You can see its use most plainly in
uploading images to a server.
My problem is that a JSON request is being sent with a content-type
that describes an XML document, when no XML document is being sent. I
would like to override this, and it is not possible.
I presume this originates with the HTTP XML Request object, but do not
know Mootools core to address the issue, so I thought I'd post here.
Just to be clear, the problem has nothing to do with the server, which
is correctly responding to JSON.Request's declaration that it has sent
an HTTP request entity of with a media described by the content type
header of 'application/xml'.
Thanks

Content-Type is to serve data, your server should check the Accept and
X-Request headers. If that's application/json it should return a response
with the Content-Type as application/json too.
In the Net tab of firebug or the Network tab of webkit inspector you can see
the Request headers, which you set with the headers option, and the response
headers, response content and more.

Hello list,

Firebug doesn't tell me anything about this request, only the
response, which I am generating.
Problem seems to be that my server (Apache 2) sees the request's
content-type headers as application/xml.
I have tried adding content-type headers to the request, to no avail -
it would be good for me, at least, if any parameter I pass Request
clases overrode those the class itself defines for the request.
// All ineffective:
headers: {
'content-type' : 'application/json',
'contentType' : 'application/json',
'Content-Type' : 'application/json',
}
Do you want me to post this somewhere else?
Thanks
