Well, that does seem to be the case. I bypassed Apache altogether and
hit our Weblogic instance directly and it worked like a charm in
Firefox. I'm still getting a parsererror in IE though. What else might
I not be considering that could be causing this issue? I've set
dataType to xml and I know that my xml is not malformed.

Thanks for the tip by the way, you confirmed my suspicions...
