Inserting authenticity token into AJAX request params

Hi all.  I am trying to find a way to insert an authenticity_token
into the params of an Ajax request before it gets sent.
I''ve got this much:

  Ajax.Responders.register({
    onLoading: function(req){
      if ((req.options.method == ''post'') && !
Object.keys(req.options.parameters).include(''authenticity_token'')){
---->       
req.options.parameters.set(''authenticity_token'',
rails_gen_token());
      }
      alert(''method is: '' + req.options.method +
''\nparams are: '' +
Object.keys(req.options.parameters));
    },
    onComplete: function(){
      alert(''a request completed'');
    }
  });

Where you see the arrow is where my problem (obviously) arises.
rails_gen_token() is a function that correctly returns a valid auth
token.  What I don''t know is 1. How do I actual modify the parameters
and 2. How can i ensure this happens PRIOR to sending the request?
onLoading doesn''t seem to catch it early enough (and isn''t
guaranteed
to anyway).

Any and all help appreciated!

Re: Inserting authenticity token into AJAX request params

Not sure if it''s the best way, but I''ve used the following to
set
parameters...

Object.extend(Ajax.Base.prototype, {
    ajaxBaseSetOptions: Ajax.Base.prototype.setOptions,

    setOptions: function(options){
        this.ajaxBaseSetOptions(options);
        this.options.parameters = this.options.parameters || {};
        this.options.parameters.noCache = new Date().getTime();
        this.options.parameters[''_tz_''] = "GMT-" +
(new
Date().getTimezoneOffset() / 60)
        this.options.onFailure = this.options.onFailure ||
goToErrorPage;
    }
});

Re: Inserting authenticity token into AJAX request params

Ok, like everything else that I touch lately, 1.6 breaks my example.
Try this if you''re using 1.6+.

Ajax.Base.prototype.initialize = Ajax.Base.prototype.initialize.wrap(
	function(p, options){
		p(options);
		this.options.parameters = this.options.parameters || {};
		this.options.parameters.authenticity_token = ''token'';
	}
);
