ajax POST request being sent as GET

[Larry Martell]

I am sending an ajax POST request like this:

$.ajax({
url: url,
method: 'POST',
dataType: "json",
data: {
recipe: recpie
}
})

But the request is being sent as a GET:

Request URL: http://127.0.0.1/api/update_measbox?recipe=MALBHDPOR
Request Method: GET
Status Code:200 OK
Remote Address:127.0.0.1:80

Any ideas as to why this is happening and how I can get it sent it as a POST?

Hello,

This is more  a jQuery issue than a Django one, but it could be because of the quotes.

From: http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/

var menuId = $( "ul.nav" ).first().attr( "id" );
var request = $.ajax({
  url: "script.php",
  method: "POST",
  data: { id : menuId },
  dataType: "html"
});

No, the double quotes vs. single quotes do not matter. I think this is
somehow related to my django app, as when I send the same request from
a web page not part of my django app it does get sent as a POST.

$.post( "ajax/test.html", function( data ) {
 $( ".result" ).html( data );
});

Hi Larry,

It's more of a JavaScript question but my first guess would be
you'd need to use the `type` option instead of `method` because
you are using an old version of jQuery?
