Expressjs Route contains weird characters












1















What could possibly be the reason for expressjs route to contain the following data? I am expecting it to return JSON data. I am making an ajax call to the server(expressjs) which gives me the below data with weird characters. Is this data gzipped? I have set the headers and contentType as follows:



headers: {"Access-Control-Allow-Origin":"*"}
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8'


�=O�0�b��K�)�%7�܈9���G��%NOU���O'6��k�~6��S.���,��/�wأ%6�K�)��e�



The HTTP response is as follows:
