I do asynchronous request via remote\_form\_for,I expect it will update  
partial content within current page, but it end up redirect to a new  
page,I guess may be cause controller consider ’ format.html’ was I  
need.so I want to try other reponse format.The problem is I don know  
how to specify the response format in post act.

whether the approach is set ‘accpt’ in request Header? If it is,How?
