            Description

            Steps to reproduce:

            1. Open Firebug console
            2. Execute this:CRM.api('Setting', 'create',

            {'max_attachments': 5}

            )
            3. Observe: API error with random garbage

            The problem is that CRM_Utils_REST is coded to use $_REQUEST ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.request.php ). This slightly simplifies the code for handling GET & POST requests but also mixes-in cookies.
