Steps to reproduce the issue

Installed custom component in 3.x

Create method in component to return JSON:

public function checkusernameavailability()
{


    try {
            if($username = JRequest::getVar("username","","get","cmd"))
            {
               $db = JFactory::getDbo();

               $query = $db->getQuery(true);

               $query->select($db->quoteName("id"))->where($db->quoteName("username")."=".$username);            

               $db->setQuery($query);

               $result = $db->loadObjectList();

               if(!$result)
               {  
                   throw new Exception($username.JText::_( 'COM_USERS_PROFILE_USERNAME_MESSAGE' ));
               }
            }
            else
            {
                throw new Exception("");
            }
    } 
    catch (Exception $ex) 
    {
        echo new JResponseJson($ex);
    }
    echo new JResponseJson(true);
}

Make a request that looks like this: http://localhost/site/index.php/option=com_component&task=parents.checkusernameavailability

Expected result

return JSON with either 200 or 500 error

Actual result

Save for brevity <html lang="en-gb" dir="ltr" class='com_content view-article itemid-444 j34 mm-hover'>............................<small>Sorry! The page you are looking for</small><br> Not Found This result is within'

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 3.4
