ColinM ColinM Taboada but then the user's system may not know the file type. Perhaps if you want to override the user's preferences then octet-stream would be the way to go, but giving the correct type and a suggested filename is the "correct" way to provide a download.
So my question is should the content type be set before uploading? And also, we get only a link from the backend team, a url that gives the file path, that we open in new tab using:window. Kailas I don't understand what you're trying to do.. These headers have no effect on a file upload, you need to have the code behind the url set the headers every time it is downloaded by the client.
ColinM Thanks buddy, you said it right, the issue when we debugged was the mime type was set while uploading the files. This should be done by the back-end team. I tried to get codes on how to add headers in java script but was not successful.

If you have control over the server code you should use 'attachement' as this will allow to use the same filename generation code. Choose where you want to search below Search Search the Community.
Hi friends, I have a problem with my IE. What should I do with it? Thanks in advance! This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question Report abuse.
At home a click on this same link opens up an instance of Acrobat Reader. PDF - open in new window. This option is controlled by the download option for the button, which can be set to be open I'm attaching PDFs. I would like to respect that decision instead of force-downloading, if that makes sense. In IE it opens in a tab.
Have also verified the setting in chrome for pdf download to be disabled. Is there anything else missing? Improve this question. Follow edited Jun 17 '20 at It can be done with the editor when you define the link but that depends on the type of editor you are using. You can use window. For PDF. For HTML. This was the right choice if you want to download the PDF file.
But if you want to display PDF file inside the browser window then we need to make use of FileResponse. Remember that browsers won't display PDF if proper plugins are not available.

They are like posted in same minute. I don't recall mentioning that this post shouldn't have ever existed, just now there it is a duplicate with one that has slightly more content, more comments to it discussing the solution, and far more upvotes which means it will likely be the only one a portion of visitors to this page will see, hence the rest of the answers, especially duplicates, are just noise the preference should be that the other one exist.
