I just upgraded rails to 2.3.8 on my test server and now the apache is  
adding an Content-Type:  
text/plain to the outgoing response. If i just go the the mongrel port  
it  
renders the response correctly.

this is an windows box with ruby 1.8.6, rails 2.3.8 and mongrel 1.1.5

A photo of what is the response is here:

correctly.

Just wanted to let everyone know i sloved the issue. There is a bug in  
mongrel that causes it to return test when you use rails 2.3.8. I chose  
to  
roll back to 2.3.5 and it worked.  
Here are the links to what i found
