In my RESTful api one of the resources exposes a GET method that accept json as a parameter named 'query'. This parameter is passed directly to the MongoDB query allowing users to query the database directly using mongo syntax.

The problem I'm having is that the request always looks like this:

?&query=%7B%22source%22:%22incident%22%7D 

Where it should look something like this:

?&query={'source': 'incident'} 

This is how I am sending the GET request:

var query = {};

if ($scope.sourceFilter) { query.source = $scope.sourceFilter; }

    var query = JSON.stringify(query);

    $http.get('/api/feedbackEntries', {params: {limit: $scope.limit, query: query}}).success(function(data) { .......

I am doing the same thing on other get requests and I don't get this issue.

Am I doing something wrong here ? Is this to do with the way angular parses params ?

Thanks
