[jQuery] document.location in 1.1.4

[drew]

Hi all,

I've been using $.ajax in jQuery 1.1.3 to make Ajax requests, and was
using document.location to set the url to send the request to, like
so:

$.ajax({
  url: document.location,
  data: data,
  dataType: 'json',
  type: 'post',
  success: function(response_data) {
    // do something...
  }
});

This method of setting the url worked fine for me under 1.1.3, even
though I assume it is technically incorrect, because document.location
returns a location object rather than a string. Upon updating to
jQuery 1.1.4, the ajax requests still "worked" (the request succeeded,
the callback was called, and did its thing), but after the request the
page would reload. After much fiddling and confusion I changed
document.location to document.location.toString() and things worked
fine, as I would have expected them to.

I don't know if this bug or not, but I didn't see anything in the
changelog for 1.1.4 about this behavior and was wondering why this
happened, and if it should be expected.

Thanks,
Drew
