The url on the server that's being called is including some (x)(ht)ml 
head output in the response to the XHR request.

Do your XHRs return data structured as xml, json or something else?

Fix the server end. You probably need to not include whatever outputs the 
document head in that part of the server code, or if the url responds to 
both normal page requests and XHRs, send something in the XHR that the 
server end sees as saying "this request is an XHR" and causes it to 
suppress generating the document header.
