IE7 doesn't open the webscripts response in json format

[anusk]

Hi all!
I tried to call a JSON webscript with IE7 and I always getting this error

"Internet explorer cannot download file from server "
"Internet explorer was not able to open this Internet site.The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please, try again later"

In Mozilla firefox the webscript calls works perfect!
Is this a problem of the IE??Maybe a bug??

More details please, no-one can help with that level of detail.   For a start what URL are you using?

Sorry,
At first I am using a custom webscript, but then tried with the api/people/{userName} webscript

when I called the URL like this in the IE7

http://localhost:8083/alfresco/service/api/people/Cris?alf_method=GET

I get the error.

EDIT: goes through this link, I can save it the file at my local machine. But putting the address in the IE get the error.

It seems that IE7 doesn't recognize the application/json mime-type.
To fix this , you have to update the Windows registry according to this:

Yes it's IE that is not being helpful. I suggest you debug your webscripts using FireFox and FireBug!
