Why doesn't Firefox native JSON viewer work for my request?

I am trying to see a response to my url in Firefox JSON viewer, but it is always shown as a plain text. I have option devtools.jsonview.enabled set to true. I send a request with a header Accept: application/json and get the response with the 'correct' content-type: application/json. Unfortunately, it does't work with my url.

However, Firefox JSON viewer works pretty well with another url. What is it wrong with this one?

Solution

  • After some investigations following your example link, and as you said, the json is valid and well formated.

    But the server does not send the application/json header correctly.

    If you can't modify the server, you can still proxy it with the correct header from another server, like this:

    Example in php:

    <?php

header('Content-Type: application/json');
$data = file_get_contents("https://auction-sandbox.ea.openprocurement.org/database/11111111111111111111111111110149");
echo $data;

    Output:
