I can't get a .net webservice working on an iPad

Question

I have a simple webservice in .net

    [WebMethod]
    [ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
    public string EnableRetailer(int ID)
    {
        var result = Business.Business.EnableRetailer(ID);
        return result.ToString();
    }

And I'm trying to post to this method using jquery with this code

            $.ajax(
                {
                    type: "POST",
                    url: "/api/BoothWebService.asmx/EnableRetailer",
                    data: { ID: '2965' },
                    dataType: "json",
                    async: true,
                    success: function (data) {
                        alert('success');
                    },
                    error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                        alert(errorThrown);
                    }
                });
        });

It works on every single browser on my computer, but I get an "internal error" on the iPad.

Any suggestions?

For some reason passing an object as the data only worked when I was on the same machine as it was hosted on. I had to change the ajax call to the following for it to work.

        $.ajax(
            {
                type: "POST",
                url: "../api/BoothWebService.asmx/EnableRetailer",
                contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
                dataType: 'json',
                data: "{ 'ID': " + ID + " }",
                async: false,
            });
