IE wants to download JSON result…MVC3

Question

My MVC3 app uploads documents from the user to our server. I am returning a JsonResult to display any errors, if any:

  [HttpPost] 
    public JsonResult SaveDoc         


        

Answer 1

The proper JsonResult return should look like so:

[HttpPost] 
public JsonResult SaveDocument(DocumentModel model, HttpPostedFileBase postedFile)
{
    ...
    return Json(new { success = true, message="ok" }, "application/json; charset=utf-8", JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
