Hi Frederick,
Thanks for the help, disabling wrap_parameters in my initializer fixed my
problem. Reason why I am setting the content type for the GET is just
because I have jQuery to always ask for JSON. I could probably set it to
only send the header on POST/PUT requests, but I would still have the
problem were params would get clobbered in my post body anyway.
Really appreciate the help!
