Have you ever run into the problem in Rails Metal where AJAX Requests just choke? When you try and debug the error response, it would stupidly reply “parseerror”.

After a long fought war with the browser that they call IE7, I discovered that this happens due to the Content-Type response header. I played around with different responses, and apparently returning the appropriate responses for my case (which were text/plain and application/json) resulted in IE choking.

THE SOLUTION: I switched to returning a content-type with application/octet-stream, and voila, everything worked as advertised. I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else, although I’m pretty sure it will.
