title: Web API IE9 JSON Data “do you want to open or save this file”
body: <p>First off, please understand that I am not trying to view JSON in IE9. I use Fiddler all the time. I have a third party uploader called Fine Uploader that expects JSON response messages upon successful Ajax file uploads.</p>
  
  <p>Now I understand that IE9 does not have a MIME to display JSON but I am NOT trying to display JSON. I am just returning a JSON response after ajax uploading some files and IE9 attempts to open my ajax response.</p>
  
  <p>Since I intend to have all my Web API responses formatted in JSON do I have to add a custom text/html response content-type for every api call to make my application compatible with IE9? Seriously ridiculous stuff, I can't get over how much time I waste dealing with IE compatibility issues. </p>
