jQuery Forum

Hi All,

I am using jquery Ajax to send data to the client and get reply from the Client.

I am using Play Framework as backend.

AJAX:

    $.ajax({

           type: "GET",

           url: '/authenticate',

           data: {'type':type, 'redirectURL':getRedirectURL},

           contentType: "application/json; charset=UTF-8",

           dataType: 'json'

     }).success(function( msg, txtStatus, jqXHR) {

           console.log("asdasd5= "+msg);

           console.log("asdasd5= "+msg.authUrl);

           console.log("asdasd5= "+jqXHR.authUrl);

           window.location = msg;

     });

SERVER DATA CREATION:

    response.setContentTypeIfNotSet("text/plain; charset=UTF-8");

     Logger.info("response content type ="+response.contentType);

     renderJSON("{"authUrl": " + authUrl +"}");

The server is sending something like "www.mywebsite.com/yoohoo/auth/1231"

But the response received by Ajax is `�����������������{"authUrl": www.mywebsite.com/yoohoo/auth/1231}`

DUE to these weird character the JSON response received cannot be parsed by jQuery.

Kindly, help on this.

Thanks
