well....it's not how HTTP works ^_^ . Parameters (vars in web2py) needs to
either be passed as url-encoded strings or multipart bodies, or json
bodies, and the correct content-type must be provided for POST requests.
Back to your problem. If you want "request.vars.graph_data" to hold a
dictionary automatically, you need to craft your ajax call as a json POST
because there's no other way to do it either with url-encoding and
multipart/* bodies. You need to use jquery directly for that because web2py
doesn't provide any facility to do it. Before starting to mess with js
code, are you a tabble bit "js fluent" ? If not, you'd better rewrite
eco_reports() expecting the usual key-value dict in request.vars instead.
