Webchat does not show text from HTTPS Response despite HTTP Code 200

[holgerkyas]

Hello
I'm calling a remote https service via the bot emulator by typing a text into the webchat, here "Hello". The response is coming back correctly with HTTP code 200, but the webchat does not show the response. What did I miss?

Bot Emulator version is 3.5.33

Startup Log
[11:16:23] Emulator listening on http://[::]:63840
[11:16:23] ngrok listening on https://08a7372a.ngrok.io
[11:16:23] ngrok traffic inspector: http://localhost:4040
[11:16:23] Will bypass ngrok for local addresses
[11:16:23] Checking for new version...
[11:16:25] Application is up to date.

I added the screenshots and the json files from the webchat in the bot emulator.

Interesting! Did you build your bot using the BotBuilder SDK? Or are you generating the reply message manually?

[holgerkyas]

I used neither one of those two options. The external cloud service I'm calling generates the response.

[eanders-ms]

Can you tell me how you created your bot? What platform or generation tool? I'm wondering because the reply it generated is a little different than what I typically see. It is possibly invalid in some way.

[holgerkyas]

It‘s a cloud service and I defined the JSON format myself based on what I know about the response format. Would you share the response you see and think it‘s correct? thx

[cwhitten]

@holgerkyas were you able to resolve your issue?

[cwhitten]

Closing, stale.

[holgerkyas]

No, I didn’t.

[cwhitten]

@holgerkyas can you update your version of the Emulator to v4.2.1 (latest) and see if the issue persists? Happy to reopen if so.
