    I am not sure I understand the question. It sounds like you are trying to call a resource on the Virtualize rest api? If that is the case what you are seeing sounds like a browser specific behavior

    Hi, if IE won't display JSON you may want to try downloading the file and opening it with Wordpad or Notepad++.

    Yes its rest API resource, JSON data. postman & Chrome are able to show JSON contents on screen while IE 11 gives option to download JSON file instead of opening in browser.

    Great! One of the links had instructions that would modify the behavior of IE - were you able to get that to work?

    There is no need to go that way for now, had to explain scenario to lead.

    For me, the same is happening in chrome. It automatically downloads a json file if i hit api in chrome browser. And works perfectly fine if i query it in postman.

    Please suggest.
