Description
It seems that data is not sent if type POST is used and contentType is specified, however it works with GET.
Both 1.6.4 and 1.7 beta 2 behave the same way, so I'm not sure if this is by design.
---
Files used in the examples:
- "index.html" is the page that uses jQuery.
- "echo.php" prints as JSON the method and data it receives.
---
Source of echo.php:
<?php print json_encode( array( 'method' => $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'], 'request' => $_REQUEST ) ); ?>
---
Source of index.html:
<html>
<body>
<h1>GET</h1>
<input id="get-without" type="button" value="GET: WITHOUT contentType" />
<input id="get-with" type="button" value="GET: WITH contentType" />
<h1>POST</h1>
<input id="post-without" type="button" value="POST: WITHOUT contentType" />
<input id="post-with" type="button" value="POST: WITH contentType" style="color: red" />

function send(type, contentType){
var options = {
type: type,
dataType: "json",
url: "echo.php",
data: {
hello: "world"
},
success: function(response){
console.log(response);
}
};
if (contentType) options.contentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";
$.ajax(options);
}
$(function(){
$("#get-without").click(function(){
send("get", false);
});
$("#get-with").click(function(){
send("get", true);

$("#post-without").click(function(){
send("post", false);
});
$("#post-with").click(function(){
send("post", true);

I don't think this is an issue with jQuery. The data should be a valid json string if that is the contentType being used. In this case, I don't think sending the contentType is necessary.
