axios request config:

}

server response:

{
"RTC_SERVICE_URL": "http://localhost:7776/rtc-service/",
"APP_SERVICE_URL": "http://localhost:7771/app-service/",

}

what i would expect:

response.data is a string as all data types and accept header point to it (as well as the config). But actually response.data will be a json object. (observed in latest chrome)
