Assuming your page is being served from the same site, don't specify the protocol, host name or port number. Just use:
url: "/api/someUrl"

Good day, i got a question that is bothering me now since yesterday. Asp.net mvc scaffolds both controller and view for you but in the case of webApi, it just scaffold the controller with CRUD actions. Please, my question is how do i scaffold a view that points to the corresponding controller action?
Everything i tried returns an error. Please help me on this. I taught it would be easier.
