Hey Mikey,
I think the issue isn't the request headers, but rather the response
headers. Make sure your server is sending back the correct content
type. Firefox will take the server's word for it in terms of what is
coming back (HTML, XML, JSON, etc.),. For what you're doing, you
probably want the server to be sending back the type "text/plain".
How you do that depends on what kind of server software you're using.
HTH,
