Unrecognized url in $.getJSON

Question

I have problem encountered in using $.getJSON because I always get error "Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in '/GetBranches'"

Here is my code:

$.getJSON('testWS.asmx/GetBranches', function (data, status, xhr) {
                        console.log(data);
                    });

Here is the code for the web service

[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true, ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
public List<BranchesModel> GetBranches()
{
    return BranchesBLL.Instance.GetBranches();
}

What is wrong with my URL? How can I possibly fix this issue so that I can use $.getJSON function?

It seems to be you are missing the below lines in your web config.. Because by default GET & POST are disabled by ASP.NET 2.0 and above

so add these lines to your web.config and try...

<configuration>
    <system.web>
    <webServices>
        <protocols>
            <add name="HttpGet"/>
            <add name="HttpPost"/>
        </protocols>
    </webServices>
    </system.web>
</configuration>
