How do I set the accept header for an AJAX request from the  
remote\_function helper? I’ve tried everything I can think of but no  
dice.

\<%= remote\_function(

# …

:requestHeaders =\> { :Accept =\> “application/xml” },

# …

) %\>

What I want:  
new Ajax.Request(url, {  
…  
requestHeaders: { “Accept” : “application/xml”},  
…  
});

Thanks in advance
