Incredible new API services - well done everyone.

I am using the API for 2 calls - one which seems to support a jsonp callback parameter (http://api.gbif.org/v0.9/occurrence/search) and one which returns a 406 Not Acceptable error if you include a callback parameter. Example code below using dojo.request:

		script.get("http://api.gbif.org/v0.9/occurrence/search", {
			query : {
				geometry : boundingbox,
				taxon_key : 5227762
			},
			jsonp : "callback"
		}).then(function(response) {
			console.log(response); //works fine
		});
		script.get("http://api.gbif.org/v0.9/species/match", {
			query : {
				name : 'Argusianus argus'
			},
			jsonp : "callback"
		}).then(function(response) {
			taxon_key = response.usageKey; //406 error
		});


Any help greatly appreciated.
