Its not YUI, but Firefox 3.x as it says here http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/connection/ 
  under Known Issues:

In Firefox 3.0, all HTTP POST transactions automatically receive a  
Content-Type header of application/x-www-form-urlencoded;  
charset=UTF-8. This condition was not imposed in prior versions of  
Firefox, but it appears 3.0 is quite strict in this regard.

Connection Manager users who send POST data with language-specific  
charsets will be impacted by this change in Firefox 3.0.

So changing the above to something like this can be useful

if (type && !strncmp(type, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",  
sizeof("application/x-www-form-urlencoded") - 1))
