$.AJAX changed the post content if include "??" (2 Question mark)

[yehuicn@…]

Version: 1.7.1/1.8.0

            $.ajax({
                url: '/',
                dataType: 'json',
                data: '??',
                type: 'post',
                success: function(data){
                },
                error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown){
                }
            });

Please note that the post data including ?? (2 Question marks). It seems jquery change ?? as "jQuery1710291590959013191_1345184415274" (I think it is a callback name) before post to server.
The ?? was replaced on 7981th line of jquery-1.8.0.js

more information :
browser : firefox 14.0.1
OS : win7(nothing is related to OS)

THANK YOU

?? is used as the callback name placeholder in the data for jsonp requests. So, finding it, jQuery will "promote" your request as jsonp.

Two solutions here:

• URL encode your data first using encodeURIComponent (as you should by default), see ​https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent
• if your data is not supposed to be URL encoded, set the contentType option accordingly (for instance "application/json") see ​http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

Replying to jaubourg:

• if your data is not supposed to be URL encoded, set the contentType option accordingly (for instance "application/json") see ​http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

We are setting the content type to "application/json; charset=utf-8" and the data is still being mangled:

    var form = new Object();
    form.p_id = '??';

    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: ...,
        data: JSON.stringify( form ),
        processData: false,
        success: ...,
        error: ...,
        dataType: 'json',
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8"
    });

#12878 is a duplicate of this ticket.

I've found the same thing as doherty@... above. The contentType work-around described in the bug does not work. Specifically:

if your data is not supposed to be URL encoded, set the contentType option accordingly (for instance "application/json") see ​http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

That has no effect, and the ?? still causes the request to scramble the data.

The other work-around cannot be used for JSON:

URL encode your data first using encodeURIComponent (as you should by default)

So this ticket is still valid and unresolved.

Thank you.

Yeah, I have to agree. Neither of those work arounds actually work correctly. If I wanted to have JSONP I would specify JSONP. Quick mucking with my data.
