I have an ASP.NET MVC web app running on .NET 4.6.1. I am creating a JSON file. The file is getting created locally, however when I deploy code on IIS on the server, I get an error
Invalid Signature
Even moving the existing JSON file results in the same error. I'm unable to debug as the functionality works locally.
Problem occurs only when array or list type is added to JSON file. For example - JSON file content
{"TypeOfTheTest": "Custom", "ExportData": true} this works but the content shown here results in the error of "invalid signature":
{"TypeOfTheTest": "Custom", "ExportData": true, "DataFiles": [ "C:\\Temp\\1.mme" ]}I tried creating file with content
{"TypeOfTheTest": "Custom", "ExportData": true } and it works but when I add list or array type to file invalid signature occurs.
Here is detailed error from server:
System.IO.IOException
