Q:

Eclipse Browser has problems with rest api call

I have a problem with my eclipse browser. 
If i call the url of my sonarqube server (https://sonar) everthing works fine and eclipse shows me the page. But if i try to call the api (https://sonar/api/system/status) it returns with an error window which says that the page could not be opened. The same url worked for me in normal browsers.
Question
Does eclipse browser has problems with calling rest apis in general? Or is there something i could do to make it work?
System:

Windows 10 Pro (10.0.15063 Build 15063)
Eclipse Oxygen.1a Release (4.7.1a)

A:

Ok, the problem seems to be in IE (which is used by eclipse in default). If i call the url in IE it wants to download the json answer. I changed some values in registry so IE just show me the json in browser directly. After that also eclipse could show me hte result without error.
Here is my ie_json.reg file i executed to change values in registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00;
; Tell IE 7,8,9,10 to open JSON documents in the browser on Windows XP and later.
; 25336920-03F9-11cf-8FD0-00AA00686F13 is the CLSID for the "Browse in place" .
;
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/json]
"CLSID"="{25336920-03F9-11cf-8FD0-00AA00686F13}"
"Encoding"=hex:08,00,00,00
