While working with AJAX and jQuery in ASP.NET MVC on IIS 6.0, I encountered an issue where invoking an action via jQuery resulted in a 403.1 error. Is there something specific that needs to be added to the web.config file to address this problem?
Client-Side Code
<script src="../../Scripts/MicrosoftAjax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/MicrosoftMvcAjax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function deleteRecord(recordId) {
// Perform delete
$.ajax(
{
type: "DELETE",
url: "/Financial.mvc/DeleteSibling/" + recordId,
data: "{}",
success: function(result) {
window.location.reload();
},
error: function(req, status, error) {
alert("Unable to delete record.");
}
});
}
</script>
<a onclick="deleteRecord(<%= sibling.Id %>)" href="JavaScript:void(0)">Delete</a>
Server-Side Code
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Delete)]
public virtual ActionResult DeleteSibling(int id)
{
var sibling = this.siblingRepository.Retrieve(id);
if (sibling != null)
{
this.siblingRepository.Delete(sibling);
this.siblingRepository.SubmitChanges();
}
return RedirectToAction(this.Actions.Siblings);
}
Error Message
CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program execution is not allowed from the current directory resulting in an HTTP Error 403.1 - Forbidden: Execute access is denied.
Update
It was pointed out by Darin that adding the DELETE verb to the .mvc extension helps, however I am now facing the following issue:
[HttpException (0x80004005): Path 'DELETE' is forbidden.] System.Web.HttpMethodNotAllowedHandler.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) +80 System.Web.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication+IExecutionStep.Execute() +179 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously)
Status: 405 - Method not allowed
