title: Cannot get CSV text via ajax request
body: <p>I have a little problem of not being abble to retrieve csv response.</p>
  
  <p>There is a csv available here <a href="http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Contributors.php?wikilang=en&amp;wikifam=.wikipedia.org&amp;page=Cloud%20computing&amp;since=&amp;until=&amp;grouped=on&amp;order=-edit_count&amp;max=1000&amp;order=-edit_count&amp;format=csv" rel="nofollow">link to csv</a></p>
  
  <p>I am trying to retrieve this data, however there is a problem with special characters in the reponse.</p>
  
  <p>I successfuly recieve the data but then jQuery tries to decode it and through a syntax error:
  My request is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.ajax({
      url: 'http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Contributors.php?wikilang=en&amp;wikifam=.wikipedia.org&amp;page=Cloud+computing&amp;since=&amp;until=&amp;grouped=on&amp;order=-edit_count&amp;max=1000&amp;order=-edit_count&amp;format=csv',
      dataType: "script",
      success: function(data){
          alert('success');
      },
      error: function(test1, test2, test3) {
          alert('error');
      }
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The error is (pointing at % character)</p>
  
  <pre><code>SyntaxError: syntax error
  1004+%28922%2F82%29,SamJohnston,2008-07-26+09%3A40,2013-03-07+18%
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried to set the dataType to text in order to not decode the data. In this case I get an error for the ajax request.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.ajax({
      url: 'http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Contributors.php?wikilang=en&amp;wikifam=.wikipedia.org&amp;page=Cloud+computing&amp;since=&amp;until=&amp;grouped=on&amp;order=-edit_count&amp;max=1000&amp;order=-edit_count&amp;format=csv',
      dataType: "text",
      success: function(data){
          alert('success');
      },
      error: function(test1, test2, test3) {
          alert('error');
      }
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried to experiment with .ajax() parameters contentType, dataType, scriptCharset etc. It does not help.</p>
