How to send data in request body with a GET when using jQuery $.ajax()

by

In general, that’s not how systems use GET requests. So, it will be hard to get your libraries to play along. In fact, the spec says that “If the request method is a case-sensitive match for GET or HEAD act as if data is null.” So, I think you are out of luck unless the browser you are using doesn’t respect that part of the spec.

You can probably setup an endpoint on your own server for a POST ajax request, then redirect that in your server code to a GET request with a body.

If you aren’t absolutely tied to GET requests with the body being the data, you have two options.

POST with data: This is probably what you want. If you are passing data along, that probably means you are modifying some model or performing some action on the server. These types of actions are typically done with POST requests.

GET with query string data: You can convert your data to query string parameters and pass them along to the server that way.
