title: jQuery AJAX request being treated as application/xml instead of text/xml
body: <p>Im making a simple <strong>AJAX</strong> request for an XML file, but instead of text/xml
  it returns it as application/xml, which apperently gives me some issues.</p>
  
  <p>Code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>method.getXmlData = function () {
    return jQuery.ajax({
      type: "GET",
      url: "testxml.xml?id=" + theQuizId,
      async: false,
      dataType: "xml"
    });
  };
  theQuizData = method.getXmlData();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Anyone had a similar problem? </p>
