Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/1023

Originally assigned to: @AndrewBastin on GitHub.

Describe the bug
I am trying out the OMDb APIs with postwoman, and with every request there is invalid json message showing up and the json returned although correct isn't nicely formatted, it's all in one liner.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Make an account on OMDb to get the api keys
Make any simple request, like I did https://www.omdbapi.com/?apikey=[your_api]&i=tt6333092
The JSON will be returned successfully, which although correct will be appended with an "Invalid JSON" message.
I've also tried the "Expand response" button as well, but it seems to do nothing.

Expected behavior
Should show nicely formatted JSON in the view.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows 10 V2004 | Build 19041
Browser : New MS Edge (based on chromium 84)
Version Edge 84

Additional context
I've the chrome ext for postwoman installed as well, if that's helpful. Thanks.

Yeah, I am reopening this issue because it is something I am working on fixing.

I haven't pinned down the reason for this yet (maybe some issues with the communication in between), but it seems to only affect certain sites and not others.

Same issue was there in Proxy mode #1070 after introducing Lenses.
Fix was in this commit: github.com/hoppscotch/proxyscotch@8c338414a1

Well, I added a temporary hacky fix for the issue (explicitly remove the null characters from the end). Will get around with a proper fix once I get around that.

Meanwhile, closing this issue.
