I use something along the lines of: request.env['HTTP_ACCEPT'] = 'application/json, text/javascript, */*' request.env['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'] = 'XMLHttpRequest' to set up headers for an xhr. You should be able to do something similar for custom headers. Hope this helps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
