How do I set Accept header on my URL in autocomplete plugin
I'm trying to develop an autocomplete list box using JQuery autocomplete. My autocomplete script needs to access a url which runs a Spring MVC RESTFUL controller and obtains data from Solr. Unfortunately, the Spring JSON view only returns JSON if the URL has a .json extension (which it won't have for REST interace) or has the Accept header of the request set to "application/json".
Unfortunately, I can't seem to see how, or get the syntax right, for the setting the request header on my autocomplete url. Any examples would be appreciated.
Thanks
