I\'m developing an app where HTML and javascript chunks are delivered down to different clients. I\'m able to GET the html/javascript chunks by adding the following to web

I fiddled with my ajax call and it seems to be working (compare to the ajax call above):

        $.ajax(
    {
        type: 'POST',
        url: url,
        crossDomain: true,
        data: data,
        dataType: 'json',
        success: function(responseData, textStatus, jqXHR) 
        {
            alert('success');
        },
        error: function (responseData, textStatus, errorThrown) 
        {
            alert('POST failed.');
        }
    });

I removed "contentType: 'application/json'" and "JSON.stringify(...)" calls and I'm able to post to the server.

I'm not sure how to explain why it's working. Any ideas? Are there any security issues? I'm doing this all on my laptop. I set up 2 different websites via IIS 7. Will this make a difference?
