REST ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST ) is a nice, clean and simple way to make a (kind of) web service.
to read data, you have to use a GET method with a Content-Type to choose in what format you want your data. but jquery.ajax (ignore|don't send) the content-Type parameter with the GET method (with REST, you can't and you must not use a POST method to read data, as it was initially defined in the HTTP protocol (POST is used to write data)). here is the patch I suggest to make jquery REST/GET "compatible" : line #2704 of jquery-1.2.6.js - if ( s.data ) + if ( s.data || s.contentType!=ajaxSettings.contentType ) that's means, if the user precises a content type, it's used, even for the GET method (s.data is erased with a get after have been concatened to the url). is there a more "elegant" way to do it? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
