Post string without form?

LEGEND ,
May 13, 2013 May 13, 2013

Hello, everyone.

If I use AJaX to POST a string of JSON data without using a form, is it still inserted into the FORM scope, in ColdFusion?

Thank you,

^_^

Couldn't you knock together a test of this in about 5min?

xhr.open("POST","/path/to/action_page.cfm",false);

xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-type","x-www-form-urlencoded");

xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Encoding","utf-8");

var thisLength = getLengthInBytes(encodeURI(JSON.stringify(thisArray)));

xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-length",thisLength);

xhr.setRequestHeader("Connection","close");

xhr.send({thisData : ''+encodeURI(JSON.stringify(thisArray)));

var reportText = xhr.responseText;

Web worker.

Now it's just academic curiosity.  Instead of the web worker submitting the data directly, I'm just going to have it message the data back to the originating page and submit it from there.

^_^

UPDATE: But I'm still curious about what scope the submitted string is inserted into, as far as CF Server is concerned.
