I've managed to download a file from server side:
[EnableCors("AllowAll")]
[HttpGet("{id}", Name = "Get")]
public IActionResult Get(int id)
{
var fileName = "Far30b4949.x86.20170503.zip"; //*** Creation file name
var filepath = _hostingEnvironment.WebRootPath;
byte[] fileBytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(_hostingEnvironment.WebRootPath +
@"\" + fileName);
return File(fileBytes, "application/zip", fileName); //*** Sending file name
}
and code of client side:
public downloadFile() {
let projectAUrl = 'http://localhost:49591/api/file/5';
return this.http.get(projectAUrl, {responseType: ResponseContentType.Blob})
.map((response) => {
return new Blob([response.blob()], {type:'application/zip'})
})
.subscribe((res)=> {
saveAs(res, "Name does not come here")//there is no file name,
//but there is a file type("application/zip")
});
}
CORS settings:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// Add framework services.
services.AddMvc();
//Add CORS support to the service
services.AddCors(options=> options.AddPolicy("AllowAll", p =>
p.AllowAnyOrigin()
.AllowAnyHeader()
.AllowAnyMethod()
.AllowCredentials()));
}
What I have at client side:
However, there is no file name at client side when a file is downloaded from server side. How can I get file name?
Update:
I've removed a call to map()
:
public downloadFile() {
let projectAUrl = 'http://localhost:49591/api/file/5';
return this.http.get(projectAUrl, {responseType: ResponseContentType.Blob})
.subscribe((res)=> {
saveAs(res, "Name does not come here")//there is no file name,
//but there is a file type("application/zip")
});
}
however, there is no file name:
Update 2:
If I use the following policy for CORS:
services.AddCors(options => options.AddPolicy("ExposeResponseHeaders",
p =>
{
p.WithOrigins("http://localhost:49591")
.WithExposedHeaders("Content-Disposition");
}));
then I get the following error:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:49591/api/file/5. No 'Access-
Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin
'http://localhost:3000' is therefore not allowed access. The response had
HTTP status code 500.
Just remove your call to map
and extract both the blob data and file name inside subscribe
lambda function:
public downloadFile() {
let projectAUrl = 'http://localhost:49591/api/file/5';
return this.http.get(projectAUrl, {responseType: ResponseContentType.Blob})
.subscribe((response)=> {
var blob = new Blob([response.blob()], {type:'application/zip'});
var header = response.headers.get('Content-Disposition');
var filenameRegex = /filename[^;=\n]*=((['"]).*?\2|[^;\n]*)/;
var matches = filenameRegex.exec(header);
if (matches != null && matches[1]) {
fileName = matches[1].replace(/['"]/g, '');
}
saveAs(blob, fileName);
});
}
Content-Disposition

How to get file name from content-disposition
You may try with the following policy (add any other header you may find is not read by the browser):
services.AddCors(options => options.AddPolicy("ExposeResponseHeaders",
p =>
{
p.WithOrigins("http://localhost:3000") // single origin THIS MUST BE THE SAME OF YOUR ANGULAR APPLICATION (not your ASP.NET Core app address)
.AllowAnyMethod() // any method
.AllowAnyHeader() // any header is *allowed*
.AllowCredentials() // credentials allowed
.WithExposedHeaders("Content-Disposition"); // content-disposition is *exposed* (and allowed because of AllowAnyHeader)
}));
Try to add "Access-Control-Expose-Headers" explicitly in Controller before return result.
For example:
[HttpPost("export/excel")]
public async Task<IActionResult> ExportToExcel([FromBody] ExportReportRequest request)
{
...
(byte[] fileContents, string fileName) = await this.salaryService.ExportReportToExcelAsync(request, userId).ConfigureAwait(false);
this.Response.Headers.Add("Access-Control-Expose-Headers", "Content-Disposition");
return this.File(fileContents, "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet", fileName);
}
