Hello, I've just spent a couple of hours playing with the new release
candidate of prototype, and I've noticed some odd behavior when using
Ajax.Request to post form data. I have a couple of example scripts
here:

http://www.straightnochaser.org/test/test.html - using RC2

http://www.straightnochaser.org/test/test.html - using 1.5.0

I know the onComplete doesn't totally work in the second example, but
that's not the issue. Open those URLs in firefox with firebug
installed, and take a look at the 'post' tab. You should see that is
sent as a query string in the first example, but as a key:value pair
in the second. I am entering the postBody into the options the same
way in both examples, and I took a look at the code of prototype
itself in both script versions, but I can't see any code that acts on
it differently in each. Why does it post differently? Did I not set a
new variable correctly?

The real reason I ask is that I am using prototype with a custom-built
python framework (not built by me) and most of the backend was written
to look for post varibles using the original key:value pairs, and it
now fails with the new method (error 501). It could be re-written, but
the time and cost would be less than ideal, so I would like to make
sure this is behavior-as-designed by prototype, and not a bug or
something. Though any info on how to fix this on the front-end would
be appeciated as well.

Thanks,
-Tom
