The Exact command is:
http_request.setRequestHeader(’Content-type’, ‘text/plain;charset=UTF-8;’);

where http_request is instance of XMLHttpRequest object.

I hope MSIE would be that verbose... =) For your general amusement: In our current setup we use an Oracle Application Server which does not only send different default encoding headers on different platforms, it even send ISO-8859-1 as "ISO-8859_1" (note the underscore) which wrecked the pages when requested via AJAX, but not when requested directly. You have to manually set the content type in your servlet or JSP or whatever you are using. Thanks for that concise description of the problem.

I was looking for some hint why on earth IE falied where Firfo just worked. And then I noticed the supid "error big negative number", nicely tucked away in a try{} catch{} block. Going to have someone change the apache conf - glad that finally there *is* an explanation - thanks a million! Oh, and by the way, if you need dumps of your tcp traffic, tcpflow is a nice command line utility (compiles fine on Mac OSX).
