Re: [jquery-dev] GOALS? Feature Request: $.ajax(): Detect json via response header

dataType does exactly what you're describing via one simple setting. It sets accept headers for us and then translates the returned data for us, all with a single word. That's what dataType is for. We want to continue to use such a mechanism for easily handling such tasks. On Mon, 28 Dec 2009 13

Re: [jquery-dev] GOALS? Feature Request: $.ajax(): Detect json via response header

Again, why not do this with an Accept header? Client sends acceptable content types, server responds with a content type, if the server's response is one of the accepted types, jQuery processes accordingly, if not, jQuery returns data unprocessed. The dataType option should be for things that are

I can compromise with your #2, and give them both my vote. Passing it on... *1. Allow $.ajax() to accept multiple expected dataTypes. 2. Setting to have $.ajax() auto-detect/translate via response content-type header.* Julian - your thoughts? On Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 3:39 PM, webbiedave wrot

Re: [jquery-dev] GOALS? Feature Request: $.ajax(): Detect json via response header

Rick, your 1 (which I too have suggested in the past) might bring about unease as folks would prefer any eval-ing to come through explicit request. I also think it's imperative that the behavior of any dataType setting (including null) shouldn't change (especially to one that suddenly evals!). But
