General Info broken, because response type changed to application/json about linux-dash HOT 5 CLOSED

The data type should be JSON.

from linux-dash.

Does it work for you?
In my case OS and Hostname remain empty, because data couldn't be inserted.

function generate_os_data(url, element){
        $.get( url, function( data ) {
          $(element).text(data);
        } );
    }

$.get is automatically converting data to Object and $(element).text(data); doesn't work.

Tested in latest Firefox and Chromium

No, I mean it should be JSON, not HTML. JSON is natively supported by jQuery; it will be automatically sanitized. I'm guessing jQuery is able to infer the content type (I don't remember and can't test right now) and transforms the data automatically, which is what's causing your problem. The solution isn't to change the data type but to treat the incoming data as a JSON object.

Edit: It looks like data isn't being encoded as JSON. I suppose that's the real culprit. Is this a problem elsewhere?

Yes, that's probably it. I could try to fix it when I get home. I didn't see the problem anywhere else...

Good catch guys. I believe with PR #50 by @vernes , this is now addressed.
