prompted 'save as' when response format is json

i followed the steps to create a rest project.

I set the endpoint as http://<hostname>/v2/videos.json?locale=us

the resource path shows /v2/videos.json in the resource viewer

when i click the green button on the request window, the 'save as' prompts open.

I followed the example (Understanding REST Parameters) with the twitter rest service retrieving a json response (http://search.twitter.com/search.json), and for that example I did not get the 'save as' prompt.

the only difference i see between my api and the twitter is the additional hierachy placement of '.json'.

I attempted to look at the forum as well as surfing on the web for answers, but I have not encountered any solutions nor similar issues.

And one more thing to note. when i change the response type to ../videos.xml?... i do not get a 'save as' prompt. the request is returned in xml format.

possible there is a config in the preference i need to disable? Any help/assistance would be great.

  • Hi!

    I think this is fixed in the nightly build, which version / build are you using?

    regards!

    Thanks for getting back to me quickly. I will try the latest build. the current build i have installed is 3.6.1.

    I'll report my findings once i run against the newer version.
  • Still have the same problem. I downloaded 3.6.1 version for Windows 32-bit about a week ago, and with this version application pops up the "save as" window when response format is json.
    How can I avoid displaying this "save as" window ? Should I re-install soapUI again ? It looks like I have latest version.
