Return Mvc.JsonResult plus set Response.StatusCode

I had this exact same problem; in order to make sure that the correct answer is not buried in the comments (as it was for me), I want to reiterate @Sprockincat’s comment:

For me at least, it was indeed an issue with IIS Custom errors, and can be solved with:

Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true;

@Sprockincat – you should get credit for this. I’m just making it more visible because it’s such a subtle fix to a problem that is quite difficult to diagnose.
