sending the directionsResult object to the web server

[skater]

Hi. 

I faced a task I can't resolve.

I have a DirectionResult object on the client side (in my .js file) which I need send to the server (to the Python function) and put it into the database (MongoDB).

How can I do this?

Now I'm trying to put the object into JSON string

for ex:

 theRoute = JSON.stringify(directionsDisplay.getDirections());

then I'm sending it to server using POST method

$.post("/ajax/saveRoutePyth/", { csrfmiddlewaretoken: $('input[name=csrfmiddlewaretoken]').val(), parName:name, parDesc:desc, parRoute:theRoute}, function(pois) { ....

But when I watch it on the server I can't see any functions which were inside the object.

Then I put the object into DB

When I'm trying to send this object back to client and do directionsDisplay.setDirections(object) this route doesn't appear on the map. 

I wonder if this happens because of any functions were lost.

Am I right and if so how can I send this object to the server not using JSON?

Thanks a lot for your help

PS trying to solve it for 2 days....

The key is that its a directions result _object_ not simple JSON

You also need to be wary of terms of use
