output->set_header does not work in AJAX - El Forum - 09-01-2010

Why does setting headers only work for a normal page, but not for an AJAX?
Code:
public MyClass extends Controller {
// This loads a normal page. In Firebug, I look at the
// page's headers in the net tab and I see "myParam" was
// properly set.
public function index() {
$this->load->view('myView');
$this->output->set_header('myParam: myValue');
}
// When I attempt to do the same for a request meant for
// AJAX, it doesn't work. Firebug does not show "myParam"
// When I inspect the headers in the console tab.
public function ajaxAttemp1() {
echo 'my text';
$this->output->set_header('myParam: myValue');
}
// Here, I try to set the headers before I echo anything.
// It still does not work.
public function ajaxAttemp2() {
$this->output->set_header('myParam: myValue');
echo 'my text';
}
}
