JSON not being parsed

[Sebastian]

I have this weird issue where the response from my API call is not giving me the option to view it as JSON under the Body tab. I have confirmed that the server is returning Content-Type: application/json, and when I use Fiddler for the exact same call it parses the reply as JSON.

This is the request in raw format:

POST https://www.scorpio-concepts.co.za/helpmeapi/authenticate.php HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
User-Agent: Telerik Test Studio for APIs
Host: www.scorpio-concepts.co.za
Content-Length: 53
Expect: 100-continue
Connection: Keep-Alive

{
    "email": "[e-mail]",
    "password": "f00b@r"
}

This is the raw reply from the server:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 24
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2017 14:57:50 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.10 (Debian)

{"error":"Auth Failure"}

 

Anybody got any clue? I tested using the sample app and project, and there it seems to work, so I don't think it's related to a missing library or anything.

Hi Sebastian,

Thank you for contacting us.

It seems to be a known issue logged in our system. The problem here is that according to the request url the response is recognized as a file and not visualized in the body. As a workaround you could use the "Open" button in the body as shown on the attached screenshot.
