Hi TJ, I've spent this morning walking through the code and have determined
that prototype indeed calls the toQueryString() function when the original
parameter is passed as type string. For reference I'm here in the prototype
code:
Ajax.Base = Class.create({
initialize: function(options) {
this.options = {
method: 'post',
asynchronous: true,
contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
encoding: 'UTF-8',
parameters: '',
evalJSON: true,
evalJS: true
};
Object.extend(this.options, options || {});
this.options.method = this.options.method.toLowerCase();
if (Object.isString(this.options.parameters))
this.options.parameters =
this.options.parameters.toQueryParams();
else if (Object.isHash(this.options.parameters))
this.options.parameters = this.options.parameters.toObject();
}
});
So, since I need encoded arguments in my html I think it is best practice
(in my case) to build my parameters as parameter object and not a string
object (since the additional toQueryParams() method will be invoked on the
string).
It would be nice if prototype could recognize that the string is properly
encoded, since I am passing in a properly encoded string and don't require
the additional toQueryParams() method on my string; this is a "leave it
alone" case on the string.
Is this a possibility for future release of prototype? Is this doable?
Karl..
