JSON.stringify call in ajax() double encodes json from Backbone

[statianzo]

Backbone's invocation of ajax() passes data that has been stringified.

if (!options.data && model && (method == 'create' || method == 'update')) {
  params.contentType = 'application/json';
  params.data = JSON.stringify(model.toJSON());
}

When ajax() is called, JSON.stringify is called again. This causes the string to get double encoded. For example: "{\"name\":\"ted\",\"age\":22}" Parsing that on the server turns into a string instead of an object.

I've created an example comparison between jQuery and jquip. Look at the payloads.

As for a solution, is the call to JSON.stringify necessary? It doesn't match the behavior of jQuery's ajax().

Can you send me a pull request? Code lives here:

Just noticed that this commit fixed it. The version of jquip in the builder is out of date.
