XHR Post #288

Closed scottgarner closed 11 years ago

scottgarner commented 11 years ago

Popcorn doesn't set the content-type to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" before sending POST data with Popcorn.xhr. Is there a reason for this? I can't seem to handle the request server-side (at least with PHP) without setting it.

Thanks!

Popcorn.xhr shouldn't be used for anything but Popcorn plugin authoring, to request remote resources. This will not change. If you need a fully featured XHR API: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax

Thanks for the response, Rick.

I'm writing a Popcorn plugin to show time-based comments on a video, currently with Wordpress's comment system as a backend (though all of the Popcorn code is abstracted from Wordpress). In this case, the resource I need only accepts POST requests and fails without the appropriate content type. I chose not to use jQuery per the instruction to eliminate all dependencies when developing a Popcorn plugin.

Ok, we'll need to take this to the actual Popcorn bug tracker: https://webmademovies.lighthouseapp.com/projects/63272-popcornjs/overview

No guarantees, but can you file there? Thanks

Sorry, should have posted there in the first place. Thanks!
