JQuery - $.ajax POST does not send .data to web server

Question

I am using the JQuery $.ajax post command to invoke an ajax event on my web server:

var formParams = "fe1=y&fe2=m&fe3=m";

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: '/foo.jsp',
    async: false,
    data: formParams,
    complete: function(xmlRequestObject, successString){
        ymmReceiveAjaxResponse(xmlRequestObject, successString);
    }
});

The ajax component successfully calls the web page, but it does not include any of the post data.
ie - "(HttpServletRequest) request.getParameterMap.size() == 0" - I'd expect 3, but am getting zero.

Changing the above command from POST to a GET makes everything work just fine.

TIA

Answer 1

The cause of the problem was found using FireBug and opening the opening the Net gadget.

I'm seeing that the web server is responding with a status 302 on the call to the web page.

Expanding upon the 302 request in Firebug/Net, and examining the Params, Headers, Response, and HTML quickly identified that it was an application specific issue originating on the server.

Thanks for everyone's feedback
