How can I replace the 'Accept' http header in AS3

Question

all

I send a http request from flash client(AS3) to a RESTFull service. The server side response json or xml data depend on the 'Accept' parameter in http header. But, I always accept xml format data even if I set the 'Accept' to 'application/json' in the client side. With wireshark I found that there are double 'Accept' parameter in the http header. Can somebody tell me why ? And/or how to get out of this.
