[thelist] Async uploads and response content type for json

I have a file upload that uses the hidden iframe appraoch. The twist is
that the response to the upload will return json (details about the upload).
Currently, I have code that renders json and sets the appliation/json
content-type and that is used for all other AJAX requests. But for the
upload, if the content type comes back as application/json then the browser
will prompt to save the "file", so the work-around seems to be to return a
text/* type of content type.
My question is this: is it possible to return a correct content type
(applcation/json) and not have browsers ask to save? In other words, is
there a better approach than using an incorrect text/* content type?
