[web2py] How to pass an array from jQuery to controller

[Noel Villamor]

In chapter 9 there is this view that calls a controller using
getJSON.

VIEW:

<script>
var xyz;
$(function() {
    $.getJSON('{{=URL(r=request,f='weekdays')}}',
              function(data){ xyz=data; alert(data); });

     $("body").click(function(event) {
['Sun','Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat']
     });
});
</script>

CONTROLLER:

def weekdays():
    names=['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday',
           'Thursday','Friday','Saturday']
    import gluon.contrib.simplejson
    return gluon.contrib.simplejson.dumps(names)

def mycontroller():
    # Here i would like the array to have the values:
    # ['Sun','Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat']
