Backbone Collection fetch Options not effecting GET Request

Question

I Have the following Backbone Collection Code :

AssessmentSlos = Backbone.Collection.extend({
      url: "mapping",

      db: {
        view: "slosByAssessmentId"
      },
      fetch: function(options) {
        options = {};
        options.data ={};
        options.data.date = "2013-10";
        return Backbone.Collection.prototype.fetch.call(this, options);
      }
    });

THe Code For initializing and calling fetch is this

c = new AssessmentSlos();
c.fetch();

Expected/Correct URL Request Should Be like this one

http://localhost:5984/tangerine/_design/tangerine/_view/slosByAssessmentId?date=2011-10 

But When i inspect i get this:

http://localhost:5984/tangerine/_design/tangerine/_view/slosByAssessmentId?cacheBuster=126

Why My Date Query is not showing in the url query ? I followed this simple guide http://japhr.blogspot.in/2011/10/overriding-url-and-fetch-in-backbonejs.html

According to the guide this code should be working. What is my mistake ?

The issue is not with backbone, it's the backbone-couchdb connector which was changing my fetch parameters,So to achieve it I added query's to the "db" object of collection class, e.g fetching on keys will be like this

AssessmentSlos = Backbone.Collection.extend({
      url: "mapping",

      db: {
        view: "slosByAssessmentId"
        ,keys: ["2013-10"]

      },
      fetch: function(options) {
        options = {};
        options.data ={};
        options.data.date = "2013-10";
        return Backbone.Collection.prototype.fetch.call(this, options);
      }
    });
