JQuery Ajax is sending GET instead of POST

Answer 1

I had this issue, and it turned out to be a URL Rewrite module in IIS.

I'm using ASP.NET MVC and WebAPI. I created rule to force lowercase URLs so social networks don't view the same URL as two different pages.

For example:

"http://url.com/View/Something/123GuidIdSomething"

vs

"http://url.com/view/something/123guididsomething"

This however, was somehow messing with my ajax requests. I disabled the rule and the problem was resolved.
