Should it be:

header(‘Content-type: application/json’);

instead of:

header(‘Content-type: application/x-json’);

Actually lionheart33806, the latest prototype is looking for X-JSON and not JSON.

_getHeaderJSON: function() {
var json = this.getHeader(‘X-JSON’);
if (!json) return null;
json = decodeURIComponent(escape(json));
try {
return json.evalJSON(this.request.options.sanitizeJSON ||
!this.request.isSameOrigin());
} catch (e) {
this.request.dispatchException(e);
}
}

The content-type recognized by Prototype is “application/json” not “application/x-json”.

[...] on it’s way and there is one aspect I want to share with you. In stead of using the old-fashioned ‘http-header’ way to transport JSON, the prototype framework now eats files with the content-type ‘application/json’. [...]
