Web API - line breaks in JSON output

[alan-null]

Expected Behavior

My Web API response returns a well-formatted JSON response

Actual Behavior

For some reason, if a "single line" in response exceed 200 characters, a line break appears which breaks my JSON

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Create Web API integration point and add example file
2. Set following content

[System.Web.HttpContext]::Current.Response.ContentType = "application/json";
$responseObject = @{
    "PROPERTY" = (0..186 | % {"."}) -join ""
}
[Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert]::SerializeObject($responseObject)

Comments: if you change 186 to 185 you will see well formated string in the output (without line breaks)

@alan-null does the same issue happen if you use ConvertTo-Json instead of Newtonsoft?

[alan-null]

@michaellwest yup, the same.

Put this at the beginning of your script:

Set-HostProperty -HostWidth 2000

@AdamNaj It helps but I am not sure if this is a workaround or setting that everyone should set manually. Feel free to change the status of the issue if you want.

@AdamNaj Is there a way to avoid formatting when using web api?
