json response is 'plain/text' type. Anyway to change type to 'application/json'?

Hey A 3rd party's webservice response payload is a wellformed json fragment (wellformed json confirmed by doing a wellformed check in xmlspy),but the Content-Type header on response is 'plain/text'...

    Hey Olga_T

    Nah....we didn't find a way around the defect.
    Typically youd use the Accept header value=application/json on the request, but this doesnt work in this instance, so i can't really marked this as "answered".

    Cheers,

      This doesn't appear to be an issue with SmartBear tool. Isn't it?

        nmrao,


        No...absolutely not....no problem with ReadyAPI!, the issue is the defect with the 3rd party code. I raised the ticket hoping i could alter the presentation of the response in the outline tab.

        I hope ive been clear,

        Cheers,
