.ashx Handler not working on Server, Only works locally

Question

Making this ajax call

    var request = $.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: "http://localhost/thcstore/AJAX/AjaxHawleySS.ashx",
//  url: "http://www.myrealsite.com/thcstore/AJAX/AjaxHawleySS.ashx",
    data: { Name: $('#Name').val(), ShopName: $('#ShopName').val(), StreetAddress: $('#StreetAddress').val(),
        City: $('#City').val(), State: $('#State').val(), ZipCode: $('#ZipCode').val(),
        PhoneNumber: $('#PhoneNumber').val(), ProductType: $('#ProductType').val(), Vendor: $('#Vendor').val(), model: $('#model').val(), Issue2: $('#Issue2').val(), email: $('#email').val()
    },  
    success: function (data){

    }
});

The call works when i'm running my site on my local machine (local host) but not on my real website. I can navigate to my production site ( www.myrealsite.com/thcstore/AJAX/AjaxHawleySS.ashx) without passing variables and it does not throw any http errors. But if i try to pass any data it gives me an http 500 Internal server error. The ajax call is not coming from the same domain as myrealsite.

something won't be processed correctly in the ashx file, seems to be throwing a c# error - turn on debugging in web.config to find out what — Pete, Mar 20 '14 at 15:39
bottom answer (with no votes) [on here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/209257/c-sharp-remoting-how-to-turn-off-customerrors). Once you have turned them on then I would browse to the page passing the vars in on the get string (if you can) rather than making an ajax call to it — Pete, Mar 20 '14 at 15:59
Sorry just seen that you have said the ajax call isn't on the same domain - you may need to [look at this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2558977/ajax-cross-domain-call) — Pete, Mar 20 '14 at 16:08

*.ashxis not working on a live server. After researching for a whole day I came to conclusion that, if Your site is running on "HTTPS" protocol or you have changed your protocol http to https, the *.ashx file does not get executed.

So, change https to http and *.ashx will work fine.

I hope this will help a bit.

Maybe you solved this issue already, but I noticed that in the client code in your post, you are using a fixed URL targeting localhost, i.e. The client browser will try to reach localhost instead of your live domain.
