jquery.ajax() doesn't sends X-Requested-With headers if the dataType option is setted

When calling $.ajax() with the dataType setted (I've tested with json and script types), the X-Requested-With header isn't sent to the server.

I don't know if this is really a bug or a feature, so, if it's a feature, sorry.

That only seems to happen if the requested url belongs to a remote domain, and the dataType is 'script'.

In that case, a script element is used, so no chance of headers.

Also, it seems Firefox 3 might throw an error when doing a cross domain request.

What browser are you testing this on ? do you have a demo ?

Script and json requests just can't have X-Requested-With (XMLHttpRequest) and adding that would be a lie :)
