Why json data of ajax call ended up as querystring parameter?

Question

I have the following ajax call. I want to send out the data in jason format. However I noticed in Fiddler that the data is converted to query string parameters. What I am doing wrong?

  $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "StatusService.svc/CheckStatus",
        data: JSON.stringify({"companyName":"paymins"}),
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        dataType: "json",
        success: function (data) {
            alert('ok!');
            alter(data.toString());
        },
        error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            alert(textStatus + ' / ' + errorThrown);
        }
    });

Note that dataType: "json" tells jQuery the expected format of the response, not the format of the request. — nnnnnn

Change the type of your request to a post.

  $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "StatusService.svc/CheckStatus",
        data: JSON.stringify({"companyName":"paymins"}),
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        dataType: "json",
        success: function (data) {
            alert('ok!');
            alter(data.toString());
        },
        error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            alert(textStatus + ' / ' + errorThrown);
        }
    });

Try specifying your headers as updated. stackoverflow.com/questions/11492325/…

Get cannot contain a body. Use post for that.
