   request.get('remote_file_url').pipe(res);
});

Everything works fine , I just want know it possible to change filename for user in Browser ?

Update

I sending remote file to user for download , i want when user want save file there is be different name other than orginal file name.

For example if remote file is: http:// domain.com/file1.zip i want change filename to http:// mydomain.com/myfile.zip

You need to set a header in the response:

expressjs_app.get("/file_url", function(req, res){
   res.header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="new file name.pdf"');
   request.get('remote_file_url').pipe(res);
});

Easy enough. Good luck.
