Jquery .getJSON and ASP.NET MVC

Question

I have this:

$.getJSON("https://scyk.pl/Account/GetSid").done(function (sid) {
    settings.parameters.sid = sid;
});

And this:

public JsonResult GetSid()
{
    return Json(SomeString);
}

.done function of jquery is not executing - why?

settings.parameters.sid is null, also if I put console.log("done") in there, nothing happens — ojek

Use the override of Json that takes a JsonRequestBehavior option and set that to AllowGet

return Json("string", JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

To only allow post requests, change your controller action to this:

[HttpPost]
public JsonResult GetSid()
{
    return Json(SomeString);
}

Then you shouldn't set the request behavior, but of course use jQuery's Ajax method instead of getJson.

And if you want the restrict requests so that only POST are allowed, add [HttpPost] above the method.
