Question

i have a web service in a server, and i could connect web service from any browser in remote machine or host machine. But i couldn’t access the web service using ajax call in javascript, showing 403 forbidden error. I ran the script from the server itself. Below is the code i used.

$(‘div’).live(‘pageshow’,function(event, ui){

        var username = 'vijay';
        var password = 'vijay';
        var domain = '';
        var windowsuser = false;
       // var dataObject = {};
       //  dataObject = {Username:username,Password:password,Domain:domain,WindowsUser:windowsuser};

         $('#login').click(function(){

                 $.ajax({
                    type: "POST",
                    url: "http://xxx.xxx.x.xx/Y_NAME/REST/session.aspx",
                    data: ({Username:username,Password:password,Domain:domain,WindowsUser:windowsuser}),
                 //   contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
                    cache: false,
                    dataType: "json",
                    timeout: 5000,
                    success: onSuccess
                });      

            });               


         $("#resultLog").ajaxError(function(event, request, settings, exception) {
          $("#resultLog").html("Error Calling: " + settings.url + "<br />HTTP Code: " + request.status);
        });

        function onSuccess(data)
        {
            //$("#resultLog").html("Result: " + data);
            console.log(data[0].Name);
        }

Here , after calling web service, it has to return JSON data, but it didn’t return anything. In firebug, inside the function onSucess, it shows ‘null’ for data.
Do i miss anything here? Y does it show ‘403’ forbidden error? Since i’m calling the scripts from the server where the web service located, i think its not cross domain issue. I’m using this in Jquery mobile. Help needed. Thanks in advance.

I figured it.. There was problem with URL.
