jquery ajax pass data which has multiple value with the same key

Question

Is there a easy way to build an ajax query like this with jquery?

http://www.test.com/?value=happy&value=good&value=day

I tried

$.getJSON('http://www.test.com/', {'value': ['happy','good','day']});

but the result becomes http://www.test.com/?value[]=happy&value[]=good&value[]=day

There's no logic in that kind of request. How would you access each and every value if they all have the same key? — Ofir Baruch

it can be access. for example, I am using google appengine and there is a function called get_all developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/webapp/… — lucemia

@OfirBaruch On the server-side you'd get an array of the values. — Anthony Grist

No logic in that kind of request? That's the HTML standard way of passing values from a 'select mutiple'. The 'select' tag has only one name (e.g. 'fieldname'), and so when multiple values are selected, they come through exactly like that... 'fieldname=1&fieldname=2&fieldname=3'. In ASP.NET MVC controller, those values would come in as a string array in a parameter named 'fieldname'. If you made 'fieldname' parameter a string instead of an array, then MVC would just join them all into a single comma-separated string with all the values for 'fieldname'. — Triynko

Just for anyone who comes here through search, you can use the traditional parameter to $.ajax and set it to true then you will get:

http://www.test.com/?value=happy&value=good&value=day.

This url seems to be good:

http://www.test.com/?value[]=happy&value[]=good&value[]=day

in php you can access the values like an array

Who care about what PHP does? I don't want square brackets in my requests, how can I build such a request with jQuery?

Like @alartur said, that's work for PHP for sure, but totally doesn't for ASP.
