You have to add .json to your mime.types file (the default for unknown 
file extensions is default_type  application/octet-stream;
which usually all browsers download).

Egg open conf/mime.types find the line:

text/plain                            txt;

add json there:

text/plain                            txt json;


.. and reload or restart nginx (clear browser cache to be sure).

You should set "application/json" for .json files.

I am having that exact same problem.

I've update mime.types config file
added
application/json    json;

and restart Nginx a zillion times but still nothing changed!

is there any extra step I should do?
does that change take time, because of Nginx caching?

thanks

@bach it could be a content-disposition header (attachment) being added.

Can you paste your nginx.conf/vhost file?

Thanks Justin,

here's how my config looks like. Please note the 2 Pyramid apps at the
bottom, from which I am trying to server the json file.
Anything obviously wrong with that setup that could be affecting the
header?

thanks

@bach who is the owner & what permissions are on this file?:
 /opt/local/etc/nginx/mime.types;

please run: ls -alh /opt/local/etc/nginx/mime.types

Also can you post your mime.types on pastebin or gist?
