jquery-ajax encodeURI Problems

[Walter Werner <we...@googlemail.com>]

hi

I am new to the mailinglist, hello to everyone. The web Interface of
this mainling list seems not to have any search function, i hope this
problem is new.

When i am trying to make a GET request to one of my couchdb-search-view

			$.get('/mydb/_design/02/_view/search', {startkey:"['foo',0]",
endkey: "['foo',{}]",reduce:true, group:true},
				function(data) {
					alert(data);
				}
			);

I get the error:

{"error":"bad_request","reason":"invalid UTF-8 JSON"}

and my url looks like this:

http://localhost:5984/mydb/_design/02/_view/search?startkey=%5B%27foo%27%2C0%5D&endkey=%5B%27foo%27%2C%7B%7D%5D&reduce=true&group=true

The quotation marks and the [ ] that are needed for the JSON format
are url-encodet inside the $.get function. I do not know how to change
this behaviour. I also tried it with $.post and $.ajax. The same
result. Can anyone help?

Thanks
  Walter

hi Randall

You where absolutely right, with double quotes "foo" it works now. And
i thought it has something to do with couchdb does not understand
url-encoding characters.

let the force be with you ;)

Without testing this myself, I wonder if it's your choice of quotation
marks. Try using single quotes to delimit the strings and using double
quotes withing the actual JSON. Such as {startkey: '["foo", {}]'}. If memory
serves me correctly only double quoted strings are valid JSON. But I'm
tired, I could be inventing this :)
