Thanks, Aaron. The problem isn't the request headers, or the server, but
that the content-type is set to application/xml, when the content body
is not XML.

As you can see, Request.JSON sets the Accept/X-Request headers itself,
manually (i.e. they are not options):

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.

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
Lee
