Question

In my app I have this code. I noticed, that content-type fails to be sent. Do you know how to force sending it?

$.ajax({                                                                   
        crossDomain: true,
        type: 'GET',
        url: 'http://serv/services/rest/contact/' + localStorage.getItem('contact'), 
        callback: 'jsonpCallback',
        jsonpCallback: 'jsonpCallback',
        jsonp: '_jsonp',
        **contentType:  'application/json',**
        dataType: 'jsonp json',
        timeout : 10000,

        success: function(data){
            $("#name").attr("value", data.response.label);
        }           },
        error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){
            alert("Status: " + xhr.status + ", Ajax option: " + ajaxOptions + ", Thrown error: " + thrownError);
        },
    }); 

My request header is:

Accept:*/*
Accept-Charset:ISO-8859-2,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3
Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate,sdch
Accept-Language:pl-PL,pl;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.6,en;q=0.4
Connection:keep-alive
Cookie:JSESSIONID=F0ED33279488888888B35A731B40EE0C; oam.Flash.RENDERMAP.TOKEN=789456321
Host:serv
User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko)                   Chrome/21.0.1180.83 Safari/537.1

As I said, contentType is missing. What am I missing?

Thanks for help.

You can only set Content-Type if you are POSTing data. So you will need to change:

type: 'POST'

You perhaps are looking to tell the server what you accept in response try:

accepts: 'application/json'
