Dobes Vandermeer did speak thusly:
For some reason I'm not getting any hits on my google searches for this, so I'm trying this mailing list. The issue I'm running into is that sometimes I get back the HTTP response as plain text, instead of the *content* of the HTTP response as the correct content type. Many of my requests are served through a reverse proxy to a glassfish server, but I've also seen this happen for applications served directly by apache mod_php. Here's an example of something that was returned to an AJAX query : HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Mon, 01 Sep 2008 21:52:55 GMT Server: Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 X-Powered-By: Servlet/2.5 Content-Disposition: attachment Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 55 Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=37 Connection: Keep-Alive //OK[1,["https://www.clarityaccounting.com/login"],0,3] This example was served by glassfish, but I have also seen this with PHP scripts returning something similar. It doesn't happen consistently, nor does it seem to be targetting any particular content-type or URL. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas what might cause it?
---------------- End original message. --------------------- I suspect this may well be a browser problem. Does the browser you are using know how to handle the content type?If not, it will likely either default to plain text or prompt you to save the content as a file.
Also IIRC, content disposition of attachment should cause the browser to prompt you to save the content.
