The problem is with your accept header: it says that you'd like text/html, application/xhtml+xml, and application/json the best - which one of these is the server's choice [1]. My FF (3.6.13) uses the same Accept header, but without the application/json. David [1] http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html if you want to get into the gory details
