Ajax call to webservice fails

Question

I have an ajax call to http://mydomain.com/ClientServices/RewardsService.asmx/DisableDivAppsAreNotSupported

which throws the following error:

<span><H1>Server Error in '/' Application.<hr width=100% size=1 color=silver></H1>

<h2> <i>Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in '/DisableDivAppsAreNotSupported'.</i> </h2></span>

<font face="Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, SunSans-Regular, sans-serif ">

<b> Description: </b>An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

<br><br>

<b> Exception Details: </b>System.InvalidOperationException: Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in '/DisableDivAppsAreNotSupported'.<br><br>

<b>Source Error:</b> <br><br>

<table width=100% bgcolor="#ffffcc">
   <tr>
      <td>
          <code>

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.</code>

      </td>
   </tr>
</table>

<br>

Why doesn't it recognize the op at the end of the url?

Your URL is incorrect. Try:

http://mydomain.com/ClientServices/RewardsService.asmx/DisableDivAppsAreNotSupported

A couple additional things to check:

Ensure that script services is enabled [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
Ensure net's expecting JSON [ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat=ResponseFormat.Json)]
Ensure get and post are enabled:

<configuration>
    <system.web>
    <webServices>
        <protocols>
            <add name="HttpGet"/>
            <add name="HttpPost"/>
        </protocols>
    </webServices>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

My bad, the ajax calls "../DisableDivAppsAreNotSupported" and get this error. script services is enabled. I want to return void, not Json. Any other idea? – Elad Benda Oct 28 '11 at 14:52
Post your JS/jQuery and your service definition (at least the signature of the method). Also, see edit - have you checked your get and post protocols? – James Hill Oct 28 '11 at 15:13
