neo4j导出html,neo4j REST API getting HTML response instead of JSON

I'm trying to use neo4j's REST API from an Apache Flex front-end. When my Flex app connects to the base URL (http://localhost:7474/db/data/) to discover other service URLs, it gets replies back in HTML rather than JSON format (just like if I enter the base URL into my browser).

In the Flex HTTP request, I've set the Content-Type and Accept headers both to "application/json" but it hasn't made a difference. I've also tried both GET and POST request methods.

I've verified neo4j is capable of sending JSON responses through a simple telnet window, so it must be "intelligently" formatting the reply based on something in the HTTP request. I'd thought the Content-Type and Accept headers would take care of it, though.

I realize the problem isn't technically in neo4j, but rather somewhere inside Flex's HTTPService (and supporting) classes, but I've been unsuccessful in working around the apparent bug/limitation.

Is there a way to simply force all such responses from neo4j to just be in JSON format?

Thanks,

Chris

As requested below, here is the exact reply I'm getting in my Flex app:

relationship_index	http://localhost:7474/db/data/index/relationship
node_index	http://localhost:7474/db/data/index/node

This is the same result I get if I just put the base URL in my web browser manually and retrieve it that way.
