Hi Friends

I am getting bad request error while consuming WCF Service from jQuery. I have following so many articles...

Service.cs

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.Text;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel.Activation;

[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class Service : IService
{
	public string GetCustomers(string prefix)
	{
        List<object> customers = new List<object>();
        
        customers.Add(new
        {
            Id = 1,
            Name = "Person1"
        });
        customers.Add(new
        {
            Id = 2,
            Name = "Person2"
        });
        return (new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(customers));
        
    }
}

IService.cs

    [WebInvoke(Method = "POST", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
    string GetCustomers(string prefix);

The code works as expected in Firefox. But in IE, Chrome and Opera throws exception like 400 Bad Request. I spent 2 days on this but not found any fix. (Its cross Domain hosted site in remote and accessed from the local host)

Please help me out?

Thanks

This question is quite old but this might help some one

I faced this problem while posting for a wcf service via jquery ajax.

My code used to work in firefox but not in IE & safari. (Didn't try any other browser. )

After checking network activity in IE & Firefox debuggers. Got the root cause.

C#

 contentType: "application/json; charset-uf8", //This Does not work in IE & Safari but works in firefox

contentType: "application/json; charset=UTF-8; charset-uf8 ",
//This works in IE, Firefox , Safari, Opera. have not tested it on chrome

Firefox somehow used to change the request headers internally.

Use JSONP instead of JSON for Cross-domain.

PHP

$.ajax({
                                   type: "POST",
                                 contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                                  url: "yourURL" +"/functionName",
                                   data: "{'num1': " + 3 + ", 'num2': " + 5 + "}"
                                 dataType: "jsonp",
                                  jsonp: 'jsonp_callback',
                                  success: function () {


                                  }
                              });
