Sending JSON.stringify() to REST service from datasouce.transport.create

[Matt]

My rest service is expecting something like this:

'{ data1: "value1", data2: "value2"}'

Using the dataSource.transport.create method, my rest service receives something like this:

'data1=value1&data2=value2'

I've looked through the forums but have had no luck in getting the method to call jquery.ajax() with the proper data. How do I do this?
