  • 1.  Script tag with IV_JCT added to json response

    Posted Thu May 20, 2021 03:51 PM
    I have an issue where the json parser on the browser side throws exception. I notice that the json response has a script tag with IV_JCT included  at the beginning and I suspect it was added by WebSeal. I also noticed that the response header is text/html; charset=utf-8 and I believe it should be application/json. Can I fix this without relying on the server to make changes? 

    Thanks

    Kelly,

    The JSON response is returned from a junction that has the Scripting Support (-j) option enabled.  This option adds the junction-cookie setting script to HTML responses.
    See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sva/10.0.1?topic=cookies-junction-cookie-concepts

    You are correct that the backend server is misidentifying its content with the content-type response header.  If the Scripting Support option is needed, the backend server team will have to correct the content-type header value.

    Regards
