in order to push bulk tracking requests, you have to use json, i shouldn't have to escape the cvar json in order to put it in a json object.

this is how i currently have to submit a request:

{"requests": ["{"1": "name", "value"}", "res": "1366x768", "url": "http://www.blah.com/blah/", "search_count": "54", "search": "termhere", "cdt": "2014-03-11 00:00:00", "cip": "111.222.111.222", "urlref": "http://www.ref.com/refstuff/", "idsite": "1", "rec": "1", "_id": "aaaaa563aaaaa51a", "ua": "mozilla/5.0 (compatible; msie 9.0; windows nt 6.1; trident/5.0)"}], "token_auth": "tokenhere"}

this
{"cvar": "{"1": "value"}",

should be able to be submitted as this
{"cvar": "{"1": "value"}",

none of this is mentioned in the documentation, and the documentation incorrectly states that i should be using an json array of urls with url encoded parameters, when i really have to use json throughout

http://developer.piwik.org/api-reference/tracking-api

here is the backtrace when trying to submit an un escaped request
