Question

I have the following jQuery code:

    $.ajax({
        url: Url,
        dataType: 'JSONP',
        type: 'POST',
        success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
            //callback function here
        },
        error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
            //report error
        }
    });

However, when i view this AJAX request in Fiddler, my request has been converted from a POST to a GET.

This is not allowed with the API I’m connecting to, as it must be a POST request.

Why is this happening?

Answer 1

JSONP requests can only be GETs.

Remove dataType: 'JSONP'.
