documentation correction

[drewB]

On page http://www.prototypejs.org/api/ajax/request at the bottom when
describing how JSON is handled it says that the JSON is evaluated and
returned in the headerJSON property. It should say responseJSON. The
same is true of the sample code.

Thanks for that, but actually, it's correct. That section is talking
about the X-JSON header ("Some backends will return JSON not as
response text, but in the X-JSON header..."). The X-JSON header is
deserialized and made available as headerJSON. So you can return HTML
(for instance) along with a bit of JSON in a header. You're thinking
of when the main content comes back as application/json, in which case
it is indeed available as responseJSON.
