Get request with string that contains ",jpg"

[asust9]

Hi,

Have a strange case where I try to make a GET request using jQuery.

$.ajax({
        type: 'GET',
        url: 'MyMethod?param=ABC.ABC',
        timeout: 10000,
        contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8',        
        success: function (data) {
        },
        error: function (xhr, status, error) {      
        }
    });

The method above works fine. But if I change the URL to

'MyMethod?param=ABC.jpg',

it's not working, the method (MyMethod) never gets called. Could anyone explain this?

I'm using jQuery 1.9.1

it's not working, the method (MyMethod) never gets called.

does that mean the server script fails or that you don’t even have a request sent?

note: application/x-www-form-urlencoded is an invalid content-type for GET requests.
