I am currently running IE8 and am doing some testing with WCF data services.

  • 0

I am currently running IE8 and am doing some testing with WCF data services. When I make a call to one of my collections in the browser I get the

“You are viewing a feed that contains frequently updated content…”

message and none of the XML is displayed because it must not understand the Atom content element. However I can easily make this same RESTful call in Chrome or even use Fiddler and see the repsonse just fine.

Is there some reason IE cannot parse the XML returned from my WCF data service, or setting I can change to view it directly? I obviously have work-arounds so this isn’t a critical issue but it would help if I have to use IE to view the response.

Thanks!

    If you want to view in IE8 the XML, click

    Tools > Internet Options.

    1. Tools > Internet Options.
    2. Select the Content Tab
    3. Under Feeds and Web Slices, select Settings
    4. Under Advance section untick Turn on Feed reading view

    If you now review your OData page, the feed viewer will not be showing, but the data will be displayed in XML.
