Parameters aren't properly serialized on multipart forms

[kiafaldorius]

If a nested object is passed as data in the $.ajaxForm/$.ajaxSubmit call, it currently doesn't properly serialize it. Current version raises an exception, a few versions previous it sent the object as "[object Object]".

For example:

{a: {'b': 5}, c: "ok"}

should get serialized as

a[b]=5&c=ok

previous versions sent this to the server

a=[object Object]&c=ok

current version on master throws an Exception (firefox 12.0)

Component returned failure code: 0x80460001 (NS_ERROR_CANNOT_CONVERT_DATA) [nsIDOMFormData.append]

Will submit a pull request to fix this soon once I setup a basic test case.

This should be the version on the current master. It fails with an exception: http://morning-robot-2113.herokuapp.com/multipart_fail.html

This is the successful deep-serialize, it suceeds: http://morning-robot-2113.herokuapp.com/multipart_success.html

Pull request created. Feel free to re-implement it if you feel it can be done easier/simpler/better.

Thanks!

I can confirm this problem with Drupal, background info can be found at http://drupal.org/node/1575060 and http://drupal.org/node/1574560

Is there a reason this cannot be committed?

Sorry. Thought I merged this a long time ago. Oops.

[attiks]

Any idea when a new release will be available?
