You don't normally send just json data directly to a server. jquery will
post data to a server to make it appear that a form was submitted.
Generally as ""application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
So it's a key:value format which is better than json anyway.
If you did want to send a json string, you'd assign that string to a
variable and have your post method use that variable (as you are doing).
However, there is no need, unless you want to make your application go
through those hoops for no reason...
Why is it you are sending json instead of the actual data in the first
place? When you test it yourself, are you giving a json string?
Is jquery actually posting the string or is it unpacking the 'data' as json
before submitting it?
Instead of reading the request body, why not reference the variable
'request.vars.data' , or request.post_vars.data ?
