Two HTTP headers are present, Content-Type:application/json and Accept:application/json

My response look like this:

"{\r\n  \"auth_token\": \"eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJKLkRvZSIsImp0aSI6IjM5MDQ4MjllLTVjZWYtNGU4ZC1iYjZhLTNmYzI1NmFmMGNkYSIsImlhdCI6MTU0MTY3NjYxNSwiaHR0cDovL3NjaGVtYXMubWljcm9zb2Z0LmNvbS93cy8yMDA4LzA2L2lkZW50aXR5L2NsYWltcy9yb2xlIjoiTWVtYmVyIiwibmJmIjoxNTQxNjc2NjE0LCJleHAiOjE1NDE2ODM4MTQsImlzcyI6IndlYkFwaSIsImF1ZCI6Imh0dHA6Ly9sb2NhbGhvc3Q6NTYyNDkvIn0.m25YLVNdFhqOT2YsDzTADsPG1H2yoHMDDYvCOaqwl_8\",\r\n  \"expires_in\": 7200\r\n}"

Response is requested through Postman app.

Newtonsoft.Json is used to serialize and format

JsonConvert.SerializeObject(response, new JsonSerializerSettings { Formatting = Formatting.Indented });

What I have tried:

I tried this :

jwt = jwt.Replace("\"", "");

But, that solves only half of the problem, it removes only \.

There probably aren't any \r or \n in your string, they are new line codes that the text visualiser in the debugger is converting to "\r\n". If you don't want new lines in your json try using

Formatting.None

instead of

Formatting.Indented

Yeah, I'm aware of that, but if Indented is used, it seems that \r and \n are there, no matter what "displaying" option (Pretty, Raw or Preview) I choose in Postman. Quite confusing.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm getting the exact same response in Postman. If I use .Indented, it has the "\r\n" and "\" and if I use .None it has just the "\"... But even if I try to use Replace on the json it still returns the "\". Any help is appreciated.
