Jquery ajax method calling web service receiving 403 forbidden

I have a html page with the following ajax method:

$(document).ready(function() {
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
            url: "http://www.webservice.com/blahblah.asmx/blahb123",
            data: "tnWsGuid=TEST1",
            dataType: "json",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                success: function(msg)
                {
                    alert("sucess")
                },
                error: function(e)
                {
                    alert(JSON.stringify(e));                       
                }
                });
        });

Which is returning to me 403 forbidden. A fellow co-worker built the web service and I do not have access to the code nor do I have the current ability to change it as he is on vacation. I need to display this data - at this point everything I try is failing and giving me a 403 forbidden error. I have changed the url name and the success function to just a alert dialog for the purpose of displaying the code.

One other thing is that the json is wrapped in XML it seems, coming from a ASP.NET webservice which looks like this:

<string xmlns="http://Walkthrough/XmlWebServices/">
{"approverName":"","emailAddress":"","companyName":"ABC","address":{"streetAddress1":"12 BlahBlah","streetAddress2":"","state":"ON","zipCode":"","country":"SO","phoneNumber":""},"tabledata:"[{"vendorPart":"AAAAA","partDescription":"N/A","price":"0.00","quantity":"28"},{"vendorPart":"BBBBBBB","partDescription":"N/A","price":"0.00","quantity":"3"},{"vendorPart":"CCCCCC","partDescription":"N/A","price":"0.00","quantity":"25"}]}
</string>

This was not the intention originally as I had expected to receive json however I can't do anything about it now and must deal with it in XML and just try and turn the json formatted inside into a json object.

I have tried as the following too:

$(document).ready(function() {
                $.ajax({
                    type: "GET",
                url: "http://www.webservice.com/blahblah.asmx/blahb123",
                data: "tnWsGuid=TEST1",
                dataType: "xml",
                contentType: "text/xml",
                    success: function(msg)
                    {
                        alert("sucess")
                    },
                    error: function(e)
                    {
                        alert(JSON.stringify(e));                       
                    }
                    });
            });

Finally I will output the Firebug response from FireFox here for both examples I've tried (json/xml)

Well removing the contentType header seem's to remove the 403 forbidden.

If the call is cross domain you may encounter issues if you don't use the dataType jsonp.
