summary: Problem with $.ajax(); → $.ajax() requires data param if type is POST

So if data is not supplied, you would want a POST with Content-length 0?

Could you provide some feedback on the expected behavior? Although jQuery could set content-length=0 and do the POST, it seems like omitting the data parameter is most likely an error in the caller's code.
