wcf, webforms, routing calling drom client

Question

User65893105 posted

Ive built a website using asp.net 3.5 and webforms.  Ive implmented routing to get seo friendly URLs.  Im now trying to call a WCF method from the clientside using ajax.  On my dev box its working fine, but after uploading it to a hosted environment, its stopped working, I get this error

NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://www.livenamehere.co.uk/AudioService.svc/GetAudio?artistId=459&_=1381479348121"

The service has been uploaded and ive modified the live web.config file to implement wcf

this is how im calling it

var webMethod = "http://www.livenamehere.co.uk/AudioService.svc/GetAudio";

$.ajax({
cache: false,
async: true,
type: "GET",
dataType: "json",
url: webMethod,
data: { artistId: $("#" + '<%= HiddenArtistID.ClientID %>').val() },
contentType: "application/json;charset=utf-8",
success: cb,
error: function (e) { alert(e.statusText); }
});

on my dev box I have this and it works fine

var webMethod = "http://localhost/Website/AudioService.svc/GetAudio";

can anyone tell me where Im going wrong ?

I have a feeling its actually security related, Ive added this to my web.config but it made no difference.  Anyone help ?

<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="wsSecureBinding">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>

I have some doubts this is security related:

• Did you publish in the root folder?
• Did you try without the ".svc" postfix?
• Did you mark the folder as app folder (enabling the SVC to be invoked) ?
