Answer 2

As Lex said, you should check the browser's develop tool to see what the server replied.

And also I suggest you could try to open the browser to type in the https://youriissitedomain:port/api/controllername to call your web api to see what server has returned to make sure your asp.net core server-side has works or not.

If it doesn't work, I suggest you could firstly check you have install the right .net core runtime for your server from this article.

Then I suggest you could make sure your IIS web site's application pool has the right permission to access the folder. For more details about how to check ,you could refer to this answer.
