Get IIS6 to serve JSON files (inc. POST,GET)?

By default, IIS6 does not serve .json (no wildcard MIME type).

Make sure you have Active Server Pages Allowed in the Web Service Extensions section of your IIS configuration.

IIS Manager -> (local computer) -> Web Service Extensions -> Active Server Pages
