I was wondering why in my asp.net mvc 3 application does the json response ask to be opened or saved in IE 9. I came across some posts like this one that says to set the content-type to text/html or text/plain. Json response download in IE(7~10)
Since this needs to work in other browsers like FF, chrome, safari, etc, I was wondering what this actually does and if it will break in the other browsers in the future? Right now it seems to work when on the server I do:
return Json(results, "text/plain", JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
But I wanted to double check that this a good cross browser solution. I couldn't really find anything on the explanation on why this works, just that it works. Can someone expand on why this is a good or not good solution. Thanks in advance!
