How to perform a POST operation instead of gets

[jonathan]

How can I change from GET to POST operation?  For example my autocomplete returns sensitive data (username) so I need to do JSON POST and NOT GET to protect against CSRF attacks.

Thanks

Hello Jonathan,

You can specify type in the read field of the transport, i.e:

dataSource: {
  transport: {
    read: {
      url: " some url ",
      type: "POST",
      // other options
    }
  }
}

The object defined for read will be used as setting for $.ajax.

This does not work.  fiddler still shows this request as a get.

Thanks

Hello Jonathan,

See the following sample. If you inspect the XHR request sent to http://fiddle.jshell.net/echo/json/ you will notice that the request method is POST.

Realised Jsonp only supports the GET verb.
