Try turning off Custom errors in you web config file and retry. You should at least get a detailed error message. Look at this for more info: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13020103/webapis-messagean-error-has-occurred-on-iis7-not-in-iis-express — Much Overflow, Mar 10 '16 at 11:34

When you try the connection to this api, try setting the content-type as `application/json; charset=utf-8` It would be better if you can show how are you connecting to this service from android — Much Overflow, Mar 10 '16 at 11:42
@MuchOverflow i try to connect like this and sorry for delaying http://paste.ubuntu.com/15340900/ — ce.arifemre, Mar 10 '16 at 12:12

@MuchOverflow i fixed it but now i'm getting this error: The requested resource does not support http method 'POST' and i searched in stackoverflow and google but i couldn't find for android application. Could you help me? — ce.arifemre, Mar 10 '16 at 12:56
this is a GET request so you should call it with `HttpGet` object. — Much Overflow, Mar 10 '16 at 15:03
@MuchOverflow Please post a proper answer summarizing the fix. Currently all the details are buried in comments, and there's no answer posted (so, no ability to properly accept an answer). — David Makogon, Mar 10 '16 at 16:02

Try setting Content-Type to application/json;charset=utf-8 in your Http request header. In android when you create the HttpUrlConnection do it as follows

URL myURL = new URL(serviceURL);
HttpURLConnection myURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection)myURL.openConnection();
myURLConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
myURLConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=utf-8");
