X-Git-Url: http://git.asbjorn.biz/?a=commitdiff_plain;ds=sidebyside;h=f6e173437e9f94cd4e713e556c6fc8ca68be8384;p=jquery.git

Fixes #8219. Introduces the mimeType option to override content-type header in conversion (and in native xhr when possible). Adds companion overrideMimeType method on jqXHR object (it simply sets the option). Unit test added.
