IE 11 asks to open or save JSON response

[emberqParticipant]

I’m using jqxFileUpload and on Chrome everything works fine. On IE, my REST service that handles the upload responds with a 200 and IE asks whether I want open or save the response.

Do I need to set something in the response header to make this work ok on IE?

Thank you.

OK, so I did this: res.set({‘Content-Type’: ‘text/plain’})

and it works ok on IE and still works on Chrome. But in your experience is this the past way to handle this problem. Setting type to application/json does not fix the problem on IE.

Thanks.

Hello emberq,

You can also try the ‘text/html’ content type. We have not experienced issues with it before. If ‘text/plain’ works for you, however, you can use it if you wish.
