Ajax post request content problem

[Venkata Sirish]

I have a problem with the ajax post request.

I have a form. Initially when the form page is loaded. Based on the search criteria iam going to
make a ajax post request. In this case the post request 'Content-Type' is correct(application/x-www-form-urlencoded). The post request goes to
the ActionServlet and then iam populating the GRID with the response.

I have a export option in the grid which will export the grid data to a XL sheet through a normal HTTPServlet but not ActionServlet. When i do this
export and try to change the search criteria and submit the request (next search criteria), now this time the request Content-type is changed to 'plain/text'.

I am not sure why after exporting grid data to XL, the next ajax request header information
is changing specially the 'Content-type' so the posted Data is not visible at server. I think it is taking the previous (export) request header information.

So due to this the subsequent ajax post requests are failing as the post data in the request header is not interpreted at the server.

I tried to clear the cache at the server using the below statements, but it doesn't work.

response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache");

Please help me, thanks in advance for your time.

Have you used a tool such as Fiddler to see what is being sent up to the server [Data and headers]?
