Question

I’m developing a PhoneGap application for Windows Phone 7 and I’m doing some jQuery AJAX calls there. Specifically, I’m sending login POST data to a remote script.

The response is in JSON when our script receive these login credentials in POST data, otherwise it returns HTML of a full login page.

I am quite sure that:

• I’ve got the domain whitelisted
• I’ve allowed cross-domain requests using $.support.cors = true and $.mobile.allowCrossDomainPages = true
• it is not an issue with setting cache: false (already played around with it)
• passing data as JSON object doesn’t work either
• playing around with contentType values did not help

When I try POST method, however there are no post data being transferred to the actual script.

I have found an old similar problem which was linked to a desktop Internet Explorer. In my case, however I’m not able to post data at all – not on 1st try, not on 2nd or any other subsequent try.

$.ajax({
    url: "http://www.mypage.com/",
    type: "post",
    data: "login="+$('#login').val()+"&pw="+$('#pw').val(),
    dataType: "json", 
    cache: false,
    success: function(loginReturn, status, request) {
            // all ok - we never get here on Windows Phone 7
    }
});
