Typeahead Bloodhound POST request

Question

I cannot seem to get a remote query to use POST properly.

var creditors = new Bloodhound({
    datumTokenizer: function (d) {
        return Bloodhound.token         


        

Answer 1

I found the ajax 'beforeSend' method holylaw mentioned worked the best.

It was important to alter the url as well though. Otherwise Typeahead didn't bother making another request. So I just added a bogus parameter at the end of the url. Like this

http://mylittleservice.com?blah=%QUERY

That way when the ajax data packaged changed I was assured a fresh request to the server.
