Mailchimp Post Lists returns HTML document? - mailchimp-api-v3.0

I am starting my first mailchimp integration
I'm not posting any code as it is in a vertical market language called Dataflex so I don't think it would help explain my question...
I have successfully made GET requests to return the information about all lists
However when I try to POST to the lists endpoint to create a new list ...
The call seems to be received OK
The new list is NOT created
The mailchimp response is not in JSON format but what looks like a complete HTML page starting ...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if lt IE 7]><html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]><html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8"><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]><html class="no-js lt-ie9"><![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!--><html class="no-js" lang="en"><!--<![endif]-->
<head>
<meta name="generator" content="Hugo 0.50" />
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<title>Developer | Mailchimp</title>
Has anyone experienced this kind of strange response when it should be returning JSON ?
Thanks in advance

Error Create Canvas not defined- While trying to save sample project

I am trying to learn Java Script and I referring to Daniel Shiffman videos. I have installed Bracket and have downloaded the example project, On writing an implementation for setup and draw method I am getting the error [ERROR: createCanvas is not defined] in the ESLint(4) editor console.
I have attached the screenshot for reference.
referred the link (https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/20819/getting-started-with-p5-js-using-brackets-having-problems) but that did not resolve my issue.
The video that I am looking in is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmZbhManVcY
Update: When I click on Index.html it opens perfectly fine in the browser. The problem is only at the editor.
Index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>

How do you reset the HTML cache in macOS Mail?

I'm developing an app that sends HTML mail. I just condensed all of my CSS code into a .css file that is now linked in the mail header:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<link href="https://example.com/mycss.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body class="email-body">
...etc...
I discovered a mistake in the .css file, re-uploaded it to example.com, and now for the life of me I can't get Mail to use it properly. Mail must still have the old .css file cached.
I know with Safari I can clear the cache with the Safari -> Clear History menu item. How do I do this in Mail?

a href not working with a bare web page

I've been looking around for a solution to the problem I'm having, but it seems that none of the solutions on SO address my issue.
I was having the dreaded issue where the a href tag in my HTML does not actually take me to the link. At first, I tried removing the JavaScript includes, wondering if something in the JavaScript portion was messing up the page.
Then I removed the CSS portion as well, and ultimately removed everything until the page consisted of simply the header information for the HTML page and only the a href tag. I also changed the link to a non-existent page (to force a 404 error).
When clicking on the link, it keeps me on the current page and doesn't take me to the referenced page (or even give me a 404 error). Following is the stripped out code (everything but the commented out portion):
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no" />
<title>test</title>
<meta name="description" content="test1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="test2" />
</head>
<a href="test.html">Support</a/>
</html>
Thanks for the help.
I made the changes based on the answers given but still see the same behavior. As seen in the screenshot (sorry SO doesn't let me insert images), the URL shows /test.html but the page is still the main page. I changed the text of the link to ensure that the changes were applied.
I'm using rackup to quickly view the changes locally.
Screenshot
Updated code:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no" />
<title>test</title>
<meta name="description" content="test1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="test2" />
</head>
<body>
Support2
</body>
</html>
Working and tested:
NOTE: Both files [ current one and test.html ] are in same directory.
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no" />
<title>test</title>
<meta name="description" content="test1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="test2" />
</head>
<body>
Support
</body>
</html>
Also test code is working fine using target="_blank" in anchor tag , which open link in new page if working fine, like below:
<a href="test.html" target="_blank" > support </a>
You have an extra slash in your closing a tag.
Should be
</a>.
I would also make sure they are in the same directory.

Issues forcing IE9 to render like IE8

I'm trying to render a webpage in Explorer as IE8, since IE9 is doing a great mess with CSS and not showing the #font-face.
I read the Microsoft Documentation here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288325%28v=vs.85%29.aspx and other related topics like IE9 does not at all care about 'X-UA-Compatible' meta tag and Force IE9 to emulate IE8. Possible? and none resolved my issue, either I am very dumb (witch can be) or I can't find the problem.
The webpage is: karactermania.com/web2012/betty and I'm using the CMS Textpattern to build it.
I tried with:
<!-- Enable IE8 Standards mode -->
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
<!-- Enable IE8 Standards mode -->
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE8" /> (as I found some examples written with and without the "=")
<!--[if IE 9]>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE8" >
<![endif]--> (desperate attempt)
Complete HTML declaration:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="es" xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#">
<head>
<!-- Enable IE9 Standards mode -->
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE8" />
If anyone can point where the error is and how can I fix it, will earn my eternal gratitude :)
Thanks
I had the same problem as you. My X-UA-Compatible header was ignored. I found the solution in this post
The x-ua-compatible header has to be in the head section, before all other elements except for the title element and other meta elements

How to get my site using UTF-8 (PHP site)

First time poster and hoping to solve a very frustrating issue.
In Google chrome, my PHP site displays random characters such as Â. However, when I switch the encoding to UTF-8 all the random characters clear up.
I've been reading elsewhere that that I need to tell me site to use UTF-8 by default. My host say this is already enabled on their side.
What code do I add and where to solve this issue?
Put:
<meta http-equiv='content-type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8'/>
In the <head> of the document, and it should force the page to render utf-8 characters properly.
Further description: In your HTML page, you would have the page layed out as such:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<meta http-equiv='content-type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8'/>
<!--<link> tags for any CSS-->
<!--<script> tags for any JS-->
<!--Anything else in the head-->
</head>
<body>
<!--Page contents-->
</body>
</html>
