Json get 404 Not Found

In an asp.net mvc application I have a method that returns a JsonResult to the view. It works perfectly on my local machine, however when the application is deployed on the web hosting server, when I try get this data by hitting the view's link I get a 404 Not Found in Firebug. Is there anyone who know a possible reason why this could be happening? My code snippets of how I generate the path are below:

    private void get_info()
    {
        var serviceUri = new Uri("/getcountrydata/" + country_name + "/" + arms[0].Name + "/" + arms[1].Name + "/" + arms[2].Name + "/" + arms[3].Name, UriKind.Relative);
        var webClient = new WebClient();
        webClient.OpenReadCompleted += openReadCompleted;
        webClient.OpenReadAsync(serviceUri);
    }

Global.asax routing below:

routes.MapRoute(
           "getcountrydata",
           "getcountrydata/{country}/{indicator1}/{indicator2}/{indicator3}/{indicator4}",
           new { controller = "Home", action = "getcountrydata" }
       );

The getcountrydata method is as follows: 

public JsonResult getcountrydata(string country, string indicator1, string indicator2, string indicator3, string indicator4)
    {

       LegoData legoData = captainClimateRepostory.GetLegoData(country, indicator1, indicator2, indicator3, indicator4);

       DataContractJsonSerializer ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(LegoData));
       MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
       ser.WriteObject(ms, legoData);

       return Json(ms.ToArray(), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);


    }

Tanveer-Ibn- Haresh is correct -you are providing a URL assumes app is running at the root. My tutorial [Working with the DropDownList Box and jQuery][1] [1]: http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/javascript/working-with-the-dropdownlist-box-and-jquery/using-the-dropdownlist-helper-with-aspnet-mvc shows how to do this correctly.

  1. Fiddler will show you the problem instantly.
  2. You should test locally with IIS before deployment.

Inside Silverlight you can build a URL relative to the page hosting your XAP:

Uri uri = new Uri(HtmlPage.Document.DocumentUri, "../getcountrydata/");

Even better - relative to your XAP:

Uri uri = new Uri(App.Current.Host.Source.AbsoluteUri, "../getcountrydata/");

Some more info here: http://weblogs.asp.net/lduveau/archive/2009/03/13/get-silverlight-xap-and-hosting-page-url.aspx

I think it is a problem with the url you are providing for the action. It is not relative in respect to the host server. Check this SO post..
