If you are sending this back to asp.net and need the data in request.form[] then you'll need to set the content type to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8"

Secondly get rid of the Datatype, if your not expecting a return the POST will wait for about 4 minutes before failing. See here
