Remove completely all kind of encoding/default/automatic encoding on jquery ajax call

Question

Are we able remove completely all kind of encoding/default encoding on jquery ajax call ? Fyr, javascript code :

function callServer()
    {
        debugger;
        var uncompressed64Data = "/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/2wCEAA0JCgsKCA0LCgsODg0PEyAVExISEyccHhcgLikxMC4pLSwzOko+MzZGNy"
        alert(uncompressed64Data.length);
        var compressed = LZString.compressToUTF16(uncompressed64Data);
        //alert('compressed Length : ' + compressed.length);
        var pCurrentPage = 'Prabhu';
        /* var formData = "img="+compressed+"&CurrentPage="+pCurrentPage.toString(); */
        jQuery.ajax({
            url : "/RegisterServlet_2/servlet/Register",
            type : "POST",
            contentType : "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=ISO-8859-15",
            data : {
                img : compressed,
                CurrentPage : pCurrentPage,
            },
            cache : false,
            async : false,
            success : function()
            {
            },
            error : function()
            {
            }
        });
    }

Fyr, above call I make and I can able to see the request body always encoded. As per application I dont want encoding and the chars should reach the server without any encoding?

Thanks in advance!

This is because of content type.

Normally when a <form> uses the HTTP method POST then the form values are URL Encoded and placed in the body of the reqeust. The content type header looks like this:

content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

You can simply use different content type

content-type: application/json

or

content-type: text/xml

I f you don't want json/xml, use plaine text

content-type: text/plain
