ajax - Post data to RESTful Invalid HTTP status code 405

Question

I create a method to post json data to web service :

 function WishList() { }
 WishList.prototype.addToWishList = function(redirectURL, postURL, userObj) {
    $.ajax({
           type: "POST",
           url: postURL,
           data: JSON.stringify(userObj),
           dataType: 'json',
           contentType: "application/json",
           success: function(data){alert(data);},
           failure: function(errMsg) {
              alert(errMsg);
           }
 }

 This is my object:

 var user1 = {
            ID:1,
            Sex:1,
            Name:"titi",
            Company:"ABC",
            Address:"Phnom Penh",
            Email:"[email protected]",
            Phone:"011123456",
            WebAccount:"[email protected]",
            Password:"123456",
            GroupCustomerID:125,
            Stars:1,
            IsVIP:0,
            PriceLevel:1,
            LastDateSale:"/Date(-62135596800000)/",
            TotalCredit:150.12,
            AgingData:null,
            TotalRedeemPoint:1000.00,
            RedeemData:null,
            ExchangeRate:155.00,
            HistoryData:null
        };          

 Calling function :

 $(document).ready(function () { 
    var myWishList = new WishList();
    $('#addToWishList').click(function(){
       myWishList.addToWishList('http://www.blahblahblah.com' , 'http://blahblah/Website/Products/Product.svc/Wishlist/' , user1);
    });
 });

Then I got errors in my console : "NetworkError: 405 Method Not Allowed in firefox and Invalid HTTP status code 405 , XMLHttpRequest cannot load url in chrome.

Note: When I use Rest Client of Chrome to POST to web service, it worked.

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Not sure what you are using as the service on the other end but this may be due to cross domain posting. I hate to post a link and run but this may be of some use to you.

Looks like they could get it working in IE but had some issues as you with the other browsers. Perhaps these couple changes will help access the service better.

This post was good at explaining the error and parts to it as well so if the above link is not helpful this one may help you diagnose the issue further.
