I finally worked it out! Apparently, IIS reports a 404 for file
extensions it doesn't recognise as safe, so *.json file was a big no-
no.
Soon as I changed it to the .txt file mentioned above (must've posted
that as an idea before actually trying it in my code - oops!) it all
worked.
Then moving into the proper project, turns out the JSON being
generated by ASP.NET was invalid (the JSON validator at JSONlint.com
was my friend for that one). It's all working tickety-boo now :)
Thanks all
Jon
