Web service returns "301 error moved permanently" in production environment

I am calling a web service using jQuery, and I have a very strange problem i've had problems with all morning. When I call the web service in my development environment, everything works perfectly. When put into production, I get an "301 Moved Permanently 38ms" from Firebug.

I have my script which is like this:

 var data = '{"product":"' + productName + '", "from":"' + from + '", "question":"' +     question + '", "phone":"' + phone + '", "type":"' + typeOfMail + '"}';
$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    datatype: "json",
    data: data,
    url: '<%= Page.ResolveUrl("~/Services/MailService.asmx/SendProductEmail") %>',
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    success: function (data) {
        resetContactControls();
        $('#<%=AskQuestionProductBtn.ClientID %>').hide();
    },
    failure: function (data) {
    }
});

This compiles to the following URL in production:

url: '/Services/MailService.asmx/SendProductEmail'

In my production environment, with Firebug I can see it tries to reach my URL:

http://www.hcemballering.dk/Services/MailService.asmx/SendProductEmail

When manually trying to open this URL, I hit my webservice. I've also tried changing the url so it just uses the normal ../Services/MailService.asmx/SendProductEmail .

I've also tried to look at my security settings, and it should work (all processes have access). I even tried to give the user "Everyone" full access to "Services", so it shouldn't be the problem.

This is my web service class:

[ScriptService]
public class MailService : System.Web.Services.WebService {

    ILog logger = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(MailService));

    [WebMethod]
    public bool SendProductEmail(string product, string from, string question, string phone, string type)
    {
        try
        {

            StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder();

            content.AppendLine(
                string.Format(
                    "Produkt:<br/>{0}<br/><br/>Fra email:<br/>{1}<br/><br/>Telefon:<br/>{2}<br/><br/>Type af henvendelse:<br/>{3}<br/><br/>Spørgsmål:<br/>{4}",
                    product, from, phone, type, question));
            var module = new MailModule(content.ToString(), "Kontakt om HC produkt: " + product);
            module.SendMail();
        }
        catch (Exception exp)
        {

            throw new Exception("Mailen blev desværre ikke sendt, da der skete en fejl");
        }


        return true;
    }

}

Any ideas?

Ok, this was silly.

This was caused by a rule in my web.config. I had the following rule:

  <rule name="LowerCaseRule1" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="[A-Z]" ignoreCase="false"/>

          <action type="Redirect" url="{ToLower:{URL}}"/>
        </rule>

And of course, my URL wasn't lower case. So I did this:

 <rule name="LowerCaseRule1" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="[A-Z]" ignoreCase="false"/>
          <conditions>
            <add input="{URL}" matchType="Pattern" pattern="^.+\.((axd)|(js)|(xaml)|(asmx))$" ignoreCase="true" negate="true"/>
          </conditions>
          <action type="Redirect" url="{ToLower:{URL}}"/>
        </rule>

And also made everything lowercase, just because it's good style anyway.

And it works!

You're using GET when you manually hit the web service. You ajax is using POST. Is your web service set up to receive POST?
