set request Content-Type for data-remote links

[santry]

This pull request sets the Content-Type header to 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8' for Ajax requests generated for links with data-remote="true" and data-method="post".

Without this patch, no Content-Type header is included in the requests that jquery-ujs generates for these links. Tools such as capybara-webkit issue repeated warnings about these missing headers and these warnings clutter the display of test results (see thoughtbot/capybara-webkit#260).

I've added an appropriate test that passes on Chrome, Safari, Firefox and IE 7-10.

We are also seeing this issue and have resorted to patching our applications. This seems like something that should definitely be merged upstream.

Good deal. Thanks for the test! I'll pull this in, and release a new jquery-rails gem soon.

+1, this annoying stuff should be fixed 👍 /cc @JangoSteve how's it going?

[JangoSteve]

I can't get this test to fail in the old version of jquery-ujs. I think I may be missing something.

[JangoSteve]

I deleted the change to rails.js and just kept the test, ran it in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and IE9, and the test passed on all. What browser were you running it on where it failed?

[santry]

@JangoSteve the failure happens in capybara-webkit. I didn't want to introduce that dependency into the project so I didn't include it with this pull request.
