JSON.stringify call in ajax() double encodes json from Backbone

Backbone's invocation of ajax() passes data that has been stringified.

if (!options.data && model && (method == 'create' || method == 'update')) {
  params.contentType = 'application/json';
  params.data = JSON.stringify(model.toJSON());
}

When ajax() is called, JSON.stringify is called again. This causes the string to get double encoded. For example: "{\"name\":\"ted\",\"age\":22}" Parsing that on the server turns into a string instead of an object.

I've created an example comparison between jQuery and jquip. Look at the payloads.

As for a solution, is the call to JSON.stringify necessary? It doesn't match the behavior of jQuery's ajax().

Just noticed that this commit fixed it. The version of jquip in the builder is out of date.
