Internet Explorer not sending request

[Fabricio872]

Hello

I have Datatable button which calls this function:

    function download(url, data, method, mime, type) {
        $.fileDownload(url, {
            httpMethod: method,
            dataType:type,
            contentType:mime,
            data: data,
            preparingMessageHtml: "We are preparing your report, please wait...",
            failMessageHtml: "There was a problem generating your report, please try again."
        });
        return false; //this is critical to stop the click event which will trigger a normal file download!
    }

The method must be GET but i need to use ajax for request because IE has limit how much data can be sent in url bar and with datatables filters i exceed this limit. The datatype that i am using this to is csv and excel sheets generated on server. The function works fine on firefox but i need to make it work on IE 11 on windows 8. There it does not make any call to file generating endpoint as it suppose to. Am i doing something wrong?

Thank you
