Question

I have a problem with PUT in Ajax.

If I use fiddler and execute a PUT to the URL: http://domain.com:58226/api/Person/1 , with Request body: {“firstName”:”Stan”,”lastName”:”Dard”}, it works.

But when I use ajax to do the same, it doesn’t work:

 $.ajax({
 data: '{"firstName":"Stan","lastName":"Dard"}',       //{action:'x',params:  ['a','b','c']}
 url: 'http://domain.com:58226/api/Person/'+id,
 type: 'PUT',
success: function(result) {

alert("Uppdaterad!");
        }
    });

I think the data needs to be a String. Objects are converted to querystrings which is what you are seeing here.

You can use the JSON.stringify(obj) method to convert your Object to a String.
