As you can see, Request.JSON sets the Accept/X-Request headers itself, manually (i.e. they are not options):
https://github.com/mootools/mootools-core/blob/master/Source/Request/Request.JSON.js#L28 But any other headers you wish to set may be specified in the options. Regardless, if your server responds with json data, even of the content type is not application/json, the Request.JSON attempts to send that data through JSON.decode and should work.
