Laravel 4, jQuery .ajax, No post input received

Question

I must be missing something, didn't think this would have been a issue.

I have a login form that has no connection to laravel form, although its on the same domain, and a POST route with laravel at "login".

I can change it to GET and everything works, but I would like to use POST.

/online/index.html

$("#login").click(function(e){
    console.log( $("#loginForm").serialize() );
    var request = $.ajax({
      url: "../login/",
      type: "POST",
      data: { test : "someuser" },
      dataType: "json"
    });

    request.done(function( data ) {
      console.log("Complete");
      console.log(data);
    });

    request.fail(function( jqXHR, textStatus ) {
      console.log("Failed");
      console.log(textStatus);
    });
});

Route::post('login', array('as' => 'login', 'uses' => 'AuthController@doLogin'));
( which is below /online/ )

class AuthController extends Controller {

    public function doLogin(){

        $username = Input::get('username');
        $password = Input::get('password');

        return Response::json(Input::all());

    }
}

In the javascript console, when you press login, it shows...

Complete
[]

When it should say something like this...

Complete
[ test => "someuser" ]

Using Laravel 4, jQuery 1.8.3. Any ideas would be great... Thanks!

if you're using chrome / safari, open the network tab and check that the post data is being sent as you're intending — duellsy, Mar 19 '14 at 22:26
It is sent as intended. If I change the ajax call to get, everything works as expected. Its just when its a POST call that the values don't get passed to laravel. — Ethan Knowlton, Mar 19 '14 at 22:40
Does `Input::json()` work? If it does, you need to change your AJAX request's content-type header to `application/json`. — Andreas, Mar 19 '14 at 22:50
You have configured a route of "post" type in your routes file? — JulianoMartins, Mar 20 '14 at 12:48
Route::post('login', array('as' => 'login', 'uses' => 'AuthController@doLogin')); — Ethan Knowlton, Mar 20 '14 at 13:02
Input::json() doesn't return anything either. Response::json() changes the header type to JSON. — Ethan Knowlton, Mar 20 '14 at 13:08
Actually, I just noticed that it requests "login" twice, once as POST, then once as GET, after the POST recieved a 301. — Ethan Knowlton, Mar 20 '14 at 13:13

I just removed the trailing slash in the Ajax request URL and everything worked as planned.
