WebMethod not called when url rewrite active

Question

I know there are simular posts out there, but I found no help in any of them.

My web methods work when im not using url rewriting, but as soon as I turn it on it stop working.

jQuery

        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "index.aspx/SaveSetting",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataType: "json",
            success: function(msg) {
                console.log(msg);
            }
        });

C#

    [WebMethod()]
    [ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true, ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
    public static string SaveSetting()
    {
        return "OK";
    }

When this is called, I get the full HTML of my page back, and no "OK" message. I ran the debugger and saw that when I call the web method it triggers Page_Load in my page and not the web method.

So I got the corerct path, but the web method is not called.

I use C#, jQuery, ASP.NET 3.5.

Any help?

You'll need to use an complete link to your web method.

If you look in firebug you'll see, for example:

http://localhost/test1/index.aspx/SaveSetting as the url that you're trying to request, assuming that /test1 rewrites to /index.aspx

Assuming that the page lives at the root of your site, the following will work:

url: /index.aspx/SaveSetting

(This doesn't work at all with url routing, by the way!)

Perhaps move your web methods into an asmx file instead?
