I using jQuery Ajax like below:
$.ajax({
url: 'servlet/*****Servlet',
dataType: "text",
success: function(data) {
var subareaCoordsPGs = preprocessCoords(data);
}
});
it works good even i did not set the dataType in Chrome, however, it failed in FF with XML parsing error.

after searched, i know it is good to set the proper data type, i want it to be parsed just as normal text, but why Intelligent Guess not works in FF, even i set it's type is "text" explicitly?
Your server is not returning a content-type, so Firefox assumes that since this is _XML_HttpRequest your response might be XML and tries to parse it. When that fails, it stops trying and reports that this wasn't XML after all.
Chrome likely does the same but doesn't report anything.
I suggest actually sending a Content-Type header indicating what your data is.
