EE 2.0 - Module AJAX - Invalid GET Data
Development and Programming
Hey folks,
Running into a bit of a brick wall here. Working on a module which uses AJAX in the control panel to update the users content. However, any time I make an AJAX call with a question-mark or semi-colon as part of the query string (fully URL encoded mind you), I get the response: Invalid GET Data.
Anyone have a workaround for this without hacking the core of EE? This is a pretty issue which will keep developers from being able to do any real interesting AJAX in the CP.
Thanks in advance for the help.
It’s the security filter .. I haven’t run into this problem but I guess I will eventually so also interested in knowing if anyone has a solution here.
FYI found this:
This is not a bug, but is a security feature of ExpressionEngine to assist in preventing arbitrary script execution via the URL. If you need these characters in your input, you’ll need to use POST instead of GET.
I found that as well - but when I tried to switch from GET to POST the request seems to fail and it bumps to the CP homepage.
