JSON doesn't PUT data

When working with updating an individual ticket it does't appear that the API is accepting the new data.

Create the new ticket data:
{

ticket =     {
    "body_html" = "some html body";
    priority = 1;
    "priority_name" = High;
    state = open;
};

}

Response

{

"Cache-Control" = "no-cache";
Connection = close;
"Content-Length" = 1;
"Content-Type" = "application/json; charset=utf-8";
Date = "Tue, 14 Jun 2011 17:41:46 GMT";
Server = "nginx/0.7.65";
"Set-Cookie" = "_lighthouse_session=BAh7BzoPc2Vzc2lvbl9pZCIlYWEwN2NiZTY3MTdmNDg5M2UwZWRkMGYxM2RkYzY5Y2M6CXVzZXJpA%2BMfAQ%3D%3D--85cc13206844d90e5e5123f1124ae49fa2757909; path=/; HttpOnly";
Status = "200 OK";
"X-Runtime" = 59;

}

The tickets last updated time stamp is updated but the ticket doesn't reflect any of the requested changes.

   Discovered the solution to this: make sure to include the following headers in the PUT request so that the server can understand the request is JSON:

   "Content-Type"="application/json" "Accepts"="application/json"

   This would be really helpful to have added to the docs!

   Joes note does resolve the problem I am having, this would be a good doc addition.
