[jQuery] Re: AJAX - ignore mime type

Thanks for your responses guys.

James - I think I'm trying to do the opposite, my ajax call returns
XML, and I want to treat it like plain HTML - but I'll look at your
link and see if it helps, thanks!

Klaus - the API exists already and is used by other client technology,
I don't have free reign to change it... and I shouldn't have to,
everything works fine when i send XML without the mime type!
I just need to ignore the XML mime type, and everything would be
sorted!!!
