Bug in Chromium with GET parameters when doing a POST request

Reported by Damien MATHIEU | January 28th, 2010 @ 08:54 AM | in 3.0.2

With jQuery, I do some ajax requests in POST. As of now, some parameters were given in GET (that's not good. But that was historical).
So I made the request with the following :

jQuery.ajax({
    url: '/my/url?param=test',
    type: 'post'
});

In Firefox 3.5, this call works well. But in Chromium, rails raises an exception when trying to parse the parameters.

Error occurred while parsing request parameters.

This bug can be corrected by not passing the parameters in GET anymore.

jQuery.ajax({
    url: '/my/url',
    type: 'post',
    data: {
        param: 'test'
    }
});

I don't really know yet if this must be corrected in Chromium, jQuery or rails.
