1. You can't have a request body in a GET request, you have to use a POST request for that
2. The string you are constrcting is not valid JSON since:
   • Property names must be strings
   • You have no idea what the user will enter in the textarea - it might contain characters with special meaning in JSON

Generate your JSON programatically.

{
  type: "POST",
  url: "Default.aspx/GetStatus",
  data: JSON.stringify({
    statusText: statusText
  }),
  // etc

Obviously, the server side of the process needs to be set up to accept a POST request with a JSON body (instead of the more standard URL Form Encoded format) as well.
