in Backbone?
I'm using POST to handle all CRUD operations and I need to know the proper place to set POST key/value pairs.
As an example how would you do this for a Collection fetch() request.
Please take note that I have over-ridden Backbone.Sync to always use POST.
Please understand I've done this for a reason and it will work fine as my server is setup this way for testing purposes.
Thanks.
Here is the over-ridden Sync FYI in Q/A format.
Is it O.K. to re-write Backbone.sync by hard coding in values?
Update
It looks like it just needs to be set to the data property as an obeject literal or query string according to:
http://hayageek.com/jquery-ajax-post/
Strange this info. was not in the jQuery ajax API.
from the manual
jQuery.ajax options can also be passed directly as fetch options, so to fetch a specific page of a paginated collection: Documents.fetch({data: {page: 3}})

If you want to work with a legacy web server that doesn't support Backbone's default REST/HTTP approach, you may choose to turn on Backbone.emulateHTTP. Setting this option will fake PUT, PATCH and DELETE requests with a HTTP POST, setting the X-HTTP-Method-Override header with the true method. If emulateJSON is also on, the true method will be passed as an additional _method parameter.
