Weird “406 not acceptable” error

Question

When I try to hit this action via Javascript, I get a 406 Not Acceptable error:

  def show
    @annotation = Annotation.find_by_id(params[:id])

If you are using jRails this was causing a lot of problems for me, here is my application.js file:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $.ajaxSetup({
        beforeSend: function (xhr) {
            xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "text/javascript, text/html, application/xml, text/xml, */*");
        }
    });
});
