Description
Example. A request from the client is processed on the server by a PHP-script (UTF-8). The script file begins with "<?php". But before "<?php" there are 3 bytes BOM (EF BB BF for UTF-8). These bytes are present in body of the JSON-response to the client. jQuery receives such JSON-response in a kind "EFBBBF{" var1 ":" val1 "," var2 ":" val2 "...}" also considers that it not format JSON.

Well, using BOMs in content advertised as application/json is in conflict with RFC4627 (see section "3. Encoding")

Seems like that's something that should be trimmed out on the server side prior to the request then? Or if the request is done it should be trimmed out on the client.
