Set AJAX content type header in request from IE
Just pass the content-type as one of your parameters to the .ajax method:
var retval = jQuery.ajax({ type:'post', url: url, contentType: 'application/json', data: JSON.stringify(data)});
Yes, you could use the contentType parameter:
$.ajax({ url: '/someurl', type: 'POST', contentType: 'application/json', data: JSON.stringify({ foo: 'bar' }), success: function(result) { }});Request sent:
