If you can use link_to helper function to call action of your controller, in your case Oweb::MainController#setmagasinstatus adding :remote => true to link_to helper will solve the issue.

For example if you have a link to your action and want to get response in ajax the following code will create the link to that action:

<%= link_to your_link_name, setmagasinstatus_path(:params), :remote => true %>
