Get the response Content-Type header from XHR

I would like to see whether the header was text/html or text/xml. If it was text/html then there was an error and I would rather catch that before proceeding.

Use the getResponseHeader() method.

Minimal example:

<script>

function hand () {

        console.log(this.getResponseHeader('content-type'));

}

var x = new XMLHttpRequest();

x.onreadystatechange = hand;

x.open('GET', 'index.html', true);

x.send();

</script>
