POST a JSON array with Titanium Mobile

I must be trying too hard or there seems to be an error with the way JSON is being POSTed.

The following structure works for example with jQuery:

xhr.send({
    'object': { 'child1':'value', 'child2':'value' }
});

But it's not nesting correctly with Titanium Mobile.

My web app keeps seing something like object = "{\'child1\' ...

Am I doing something wrong or is this is a platform bug?

Thanks for any help.

Are you sure you can send a nested json over http?

You may try this:
```
xhr.send({
    object: { child1:'value', child2:'value' }
});
```
or if it doesn't work, you can try to stringify the json, send it as a simple string variable and parse it serverside.

- Thank you for your response.
  
  Yes you can send JSON over HTTP, but it turns out I needed to make sure it was JSON I was sending!
  
  This now works for me (it also works if keys are of the 'child1' sort):
```
var postData = {
    object: { child1:'value', child2:'value' }
}
xhr.send(JSON.stringify(postData));
```

function setTask(idUser, idService, Reason){
        xhrPost.open('POST', myPost);
        xhrPost.send({'User':idUser,'c':'mark','ServiceTick':idService,'Reason':Reason});
};

works so in my case
