Hello,
for different custom extensions I've been doing something like this with GET:
$.get( mw.util.wikiScript(), { format: 'json', action: 'ajax', rs: 'MyExt::MyFunction', rsargs: [param1, param2] }, function(data) { // console.log(data); });
MyExt::MyFunction is in $wgAjaxExportList[].
However, since now I have too much data for a URL (414 HTTP error) I'd prefer to use POST. So far I have not found a proper way to build it. Any idea or advice?
Thanks!
You should probably use the API rather than that. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Extensions

If no other choice, I will do some rewriting. I'll inspect for examples of POST here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:API_extensions
Thanks Alex,

Another nice example is the extension AJAXPoll http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AJAXPoll
It couldn't be more simple I'm afraid. Replace "get" with "post".
Note that both of these are just shortcuts to the more advanced "$.ajax" method, so if the reduced set of options exposed in get() and post() isn't enough, just call ajax() directly.

PS: Please use the Promise interface, not the callback parameters. Don't forget to handle errors, either.
PS2: While this will help you get the request over POST, the underlying subsystem you're communicating with (action=ajax) has been deprecated for many years now. Please rewrite these global functions in a more modular fashion by creating an API module.
