internet explorer cannot display this feed and supported feed formats

When you are trying to access the REST API url in internet explorer  8+ you might have see the error internet explorer cannot display this feed and supported feed formats
Atom 03,1.0
RSS 0.91 ,0.92
RSS 1.0
RSS 2.0

Because the REST API uses the combination of ATOM and XML feed.
Internet Explorer Cannot display this feed

To resolve this problem
Go to your internet option -> Content Tab -> Click the "Settings" under "Feed and Web Slices"
uncheck the "Turn on feed reading View".
