    <font color='red'><span id="status">status</span></font>


    <script type="text/javascript">
    function set_status(status)
    {
    if (status == "offline")
    {    

    document.getElementById("status").innerHTML =
    "offline";
    }
    else if (status == "live")
    {    
    document.getElementById("status").innerHTML =
    "LIVE";
    }
    else
    {    
    document.getElementById("status").innerHTML  =
    "Error getting stream status!";
    }
    }
    </script>

In your JSFiddle, Javascript comments use // or /* */ comments, not <!-- -->. This results in a syntax error which causes the code to be ignored.

After removing the comments, you get:

{"error": "Please use POST request"}
