inconsistency between WS and AJAX data

[Tyki]

The data given for a plugin controller are not in the same place, based on WS or AJAX.

I declared a POST endpoint in my custom plugin.

On WS, using Kuzzle SDK JS : Kuzzle.query({controller: 'plugin/Controller', action: 'myAction'}, {payload: {}}. => The payload object is inside request.input.args

Using Ajax, with the same controller/action and the same payload, the data will be present in request.input.body

Expected Behavior

I don't know if that's really a bug, but I had assumed that a POST endpoint using AJAX would still be usable for WS usages.

Current Behavior

Data is in different places, from the Kuzzle Request

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a custom Controller plugin with POST endpoint
2. Send a payload to this POST endpoint with Ajax
3. Create a Kuzzle.query to the same controller/action using Websocket

Context (Environment)

Docker instances Kuzzle 1.2.9

This is not a bug: HTTP is very peculiar, and implicit body is a purely HTTP thing. This behavior is not applicable to any other protocol. If you need your payload property to be in the body part of a Request object using a non-HTTP protocol, then you need to send the following data: {body: {payload: {}} Any other property at the root of the sent data will be treated as extra arguments, and thus stored in the request.input.args part of a request.

So here Kuzzle behaves as expected.

On the other hand, to have these extra arguments with HTTP, you need to pass them in the URL.
