Google Chrome Ajax issue with empty post bodies
When issuing a POST/PUT/DELETE ajax() request without a `data` parameter, Google Chrome sends "undefined" as the request body, breaking backends which expect well-formed form-urlencoded data (in this case, Ruby on Rails).
We've been bitten by this today. Patch attached to a 7 months old ticket
Just wanted to give a heads-up, since it's a trivial fix. The patch also enables the user to send data in bodies of requests other than POST and PUT (full HTTP methods list:

Thanks
