How to return the correct content-type for JSON in CakePHP?

Question

I\'m trying to set the content-type header for a JSON response accessed with an AJAX GET request. I\'ve followed tutorials on blogs and the bakery but I always receive \'text/ht

Answer 1

I am not sure (and, to be honest, I've never used CakePHP), but you may want to try to specify a second argument in the setContent method..

replace this:

$this->RequestHandler->setContent('json') 

with this:

$this->RequestHandler->setContent('json', 'text/x-json');

see this file for an example..
