HTTP parameters are key/value pairs. If you have an object like:
var json = {
foo: 'bar',
boo: 'far'
};
It will get converted into HTTP parameters foo=bar and boo=far.
In your example, you have one key, "Request", and its value is an object.
Converting the value (a JavaScript object) to a string yields "[object
Object]", which is what you're seeing. If you were expecting to get complex
PHP objects on your server side, you're mistaken about how HTTP parameters
work :)
Basically, make your JSON object only one level deep and you should be fine.
Hope it helps.
