Gingerbread device throwing 411 on ajax requests

Question

I am creating a phonegap app that needs to support android gingerbread. The gingerbread device cannot successfully make ajax requests to the service API. No other device appears to have this problem. I always get back:

HTTP Error 411. The request must be chunked or have a content length.

Some searching has indicated this is usually not a device-specific error. Here is the code I am using:

var addItemToList = function (itemId, successCallback, errorCallback) {
    var address = appContext.createEndPointAddress("/List/" + itemId);
    $.ajax({
        type: 'PUT',
        url: address,
        dataType: "json",
        success: successCallback,
        error: errorCallback,
        headers: {
            "Authorization": appContext.getAuthHeader(),
            Accept:
                "application/site.error-ver1+json, application/site.success-ver1+json"
        }
    });
};

I am assuming it has to do with the request header formed by whatever browser gingerbread uses. What should I do to repair the faulty header?

Answer 1

Fixed the issue. Apparently, PUT requests are not normally created without a body. Thus, adding the line:

data: "{}",

fixed the problem.
