ASP.NET and jQuery Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 405 (Method Not Allowed)

I am trying to make an ajax call to an ASP.NET Controller, but keep getting this error:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 405 (Method Not Allowed)

Here is the ajax code:

$.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "api/connection/getCommunities",
        dataType: 'json',
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        cache: false,
        success: function (data) {
            var communityDropdown = $("#communtiyDropdown");
            $.each(data, function () {
                communityDropdown.append($("<option />").val(data.Job_NO).text(data.Job_NO));
            });
        }
    });

and here is the controller:

public class ConnectionController : ApiController
    {
        [WebMethod]
        public List<CommunityClass> getCommunities()
        {
            ConnectionClass jobs = new ConnectionClass();
            return jobs.getCommunities();
        }
    }

what am I doing wrong? When I goto the URL directly it works. But when I try to call it in an ajax call it does not work.

It's possible there are web.config settings preventing POST from being used on that service. Change your AJAX code to use GET and see if that works.

$.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "api/connection/getCommunities",
        dataType: 'json',
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        cache: false,
        success: function (data) {
            var communityDropdown = $("#communtiyDropdown");
            $.each(data, function () {
                    communityDropdown.append($("<option />").val(data.Job_NO).text(data.Job_NO));
            });
        }
    });
