What should happen if toString() is overridden? E.g.:
Number.prototype.toString = function() { return (this*2)+''; };
...
request.send(1);
Should '1' or '2' be sent? I tested this in Opera 9.2 and Firefox 2.
Opera doesn't seem to post anything when the parameter is a number.
Firefox sends '1'.
The output of the custom toString() should be used if toString is
overridden.
However, your test isn't testing the scenario you want to test because
stringification of a number literal does not use
Number.prototype.toString(). Say
request.send(new Number(1));
for example.
Opera not sending anything looks like a bug, I'll file it.
