Connection: Accept application/json for file upload post

Not sure why but I seem to be unable to set the accept header when doing a form post with the connection manager.

The following code snipet always sents with the accept header of "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8"
so when the browser gets a document back with the content type of application/json it prompts the user.
If I don't set the content type on the server the code works as expected.

Code:

                var C =  YAHOO.util.Connect;
                C.setForm(ul_form, true); 
                var post_url = '/browser/json_upload_thumbnail/'+asset_path;
                C.initHeader("Accept", "application/json");
                var d = C.asyncRequest('POST', post_url, callback);

The parameters passed to setForm() indicate a file upload operation. In this mode, the request and response are facilitated through an iframe. If the response Content-Type is not set to some variation of "text/*", or if the Content-Type is not mapped to an application handler, it will throw the dialog to prompt for user action.
