Answer 1

:formats=>[:html]

That says the server is thinking that html is being requested. Try adding a .json to your path (and possible route) and that will force the format. TO make that would would need a route something like this:

map.your_projects '/projects/yourprojects.:format',
  :controller => 'projects',
  :action => 'yourprojects'

Somehow, someway, the params[:format] should be "json" for this request so the format handlers can do the right thing.
