Issue in Ajax Call

[lgchintake]

I am using jQuery v2.1.4.min.js library.

I am calling ajax giving some parameters to it as like following:

First Case

var myData = '{"userId":"abc", "password":"abc??"}';
$.ajax({
	type: "POST",
	url: myUrl,
	data: myData,
	dataType: "json",
	success: function(serviceData) {
		console.log(JSON.stringify(serviceData));
	},
	error: function(err) {
		console.log("Error: "+err);
	}
});

I have given password having two question marks(??) so it is manipulating it automatically as

{"userName":"abc", "password":"abcjQuery21406515378922229067_1479880736745?"}:

When I remove the dataType: "json", it works fine.

Second Case

When I write above code with ContentType as:

var myData = '{"userId":"abc", "password":"abc??"}';
$.ajax({
	type: "POST",
	url: myUrl,
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
	data: myData,
	dataType: "json",
	success: function(serviceData) {
		console.log(JSON.stringify(serviceData));
	},
	error: function(err) {
		console.log("Error: "+err);
	}
});

It works fine. No issue.

I am using Java RestEasy Service for handling the ajax requests.

This is a dup of gh-1799.

@dmethvin There is no issue 1799 in this repo; where did you want to link?

@dmethvin Where to find issue no. 1799 ?

Sorry, it's here: jquery/jquery#1799

Since this is the docs repo, I suppose this is a request to add something to the jQuery.ajax page about it? It doesn't look like it's currently mentioned.
