POST Ajax and contentType sends no data.

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" />


	<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7b2.js"></script>
	<!--<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>-->
	<script>

		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);
			});
		});

	</script>

</body>

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.
