DB won't accept application/json in POST

The docs say you can create a new doc with this type of request ...

POST /somedatabase/ HTTP/1.0
Content-Length: 245
Content-Type: application/json

But I'm trying to save a doc using the latest jquery.couch.js and I'm
getting the error: 415,"bad_content_type","Content-Type must be
multipart/form-data".

The request is ...

Request URL:http://somewhere.com:5984/cdb-dev/
Request Method:POST
Status Code:415 Unsupported Media Type

The body is:  {"type":"uiState","user":"mchahn"}  I'm using the
standard `db.saveDoc`.  My couchdb is version  1.0.2.

Can someone help?
