Question

The situation is that i am trying to get d3 to read a JSON file which is stored in Windows Azure Blob storage. If i paste the url into a browser then the file is downloaded

Answer 1

you'll have to set the Content-Type http header to "application/json" on your blob.

It can be done programmatically or using the rest API, or using a free utility like cloudberry explorer for azure blob storage.
