Broken PUT request with jquery/python GAE

[Alexander Zylman]

I'm using jQuery's AJAX function, like so:

    $.ajax ({ "url" : "/note",

        "async" : true,

        "type" : "POST",

        "data" : {"id" : id, "content" : el.value}

      });

On the backend (Python Google App Engine, currently using webapp.RequestHandler), PUT requests are handled by the same function that handles POST requests.

If I make a POST request everything works. If I change it to a PUT request (by changing type of the AJAX call), nothing works. If I check the logs for GAE, I see:

    BadKeyError: Invalid string key .

This is the result of logging the ID for each call:

    ID: ahFkZXZ-YXp2ZC13ZWJub3Rlc3ItCxIKU3RpY2t5Tm90ZSIQdGVzdEBleGFtcGxlLmNvbQwLEgdzbk1vZGVsGAIM (from the POST call)

    ID: (from the PUT call)

So clearly it's not passing the ID properly for PUT calls, which is why the datastore is giving me a BadKeyError. I'm not sure if this is a problem on jQuery's side, or if it's from GAE's side, though, and I have no idea what's going on. Any help would be appreciated.

Probably due to issue 170:
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=170

When debugging stuff like this, don't forget to try logging things
like the raw request body. It will help you out a bunch.
