I’m testing a controller by doing an ajax post to create an entry,  
then a normal get to see that entry show up on a page. After the get  
the @response.body is correct, but @response.headers still says the  
content type is “text/javascript”, so assert\_select doesn’t work. It  
seems like the second request, the get, would set the content type to  
“text/html” since it’s just a normal page. Am I off base here? Any  
help is appreciated.

Thanks,  
Jason
