endpoins - View Content Type

Hello,

 

I'm trying to understand how the "View content type" works for an endpoint

I'm trying to get pure text, so I'm using text/plain from the dropdown, unfortunately I still see html code rendering.

 

Just type some text in an endpoint then see how it looks like using the different options.

 

Here someone asked for something similar before:

Am I doing it right?

 

Thanks!

    Hey gabiudrea,

     

    What browser are you using? Selecting the "View content type" sets the Content-Type header in the response. The browser should display the content in the type specified by the Content-Type header.

     

    I did the following quick test in chrome:

     

    1.  Put the following code in an endpoint
    <html>
<body>
<h1>4 The Content-Type Header Field</h1>
</body>
</html>

     2. set content type to text/html (click save) (then click to view endpoint)

      • This showed just the header content

     3. set content type to text/plain (click save) (then click to view endpoint)

      • This showed the full text

     

    Hope this helps,
