Window config content options ignored in releases >2012.1.322

[Mark]

Consider the fiddle at:

http://jsfiddle.net/vapKb/42/ 

If you console the network activity which this code runs you can see two things:
1) type is ignored. it always makes a GET requests
2) data is ignored. It doesn't get sent (regardless of type)

I've tried this and variations on all weekly builds since 322 and the behaviour is the same. For clarification in v 322 everything works ok however I really need the various other enhancements and fixes that are in later releases.

Is this a bug or has the configuration requirement changed?

Thanks,

Mark.

Hello Mark,

The reason for this not working is that the iframe config option is set to true. Since this renders an iframe with a src attribute, it makes a GET request. This scenario was never intentionally supported, as it requires an additional form that needs to be posted and loaded in the iframe window. As a work-around, you can generate a form with a target attribute that posts the data -- and the target attribute should point to the iframe name. You can submit this as a feature suggestion on uservoice so that it gets implemented from the framework in the future.
