Use the Content-Disposition header with a filename to trigger a file download

[darrelmiller]

When we get a response back, we should check the response headers and look for a content-disposition header. If the header contains the filename parameter then we should use that to prompt the browser to download the response to a file.

The following code may be modified to trigger the file download behavior in the browser.

function download(url, filename) {
fetch(url).then(function(t) {
    return t.blob().then((b)=>{
        var a = document.createElement("a");
        a.href = URL.createObjectURL(b);
        a.setAttribute("download", filename);
        a.click();
    }
    );
});
}

@cwahome what's the status of this? Should I close it?

Closing this as the content disposition header is unreachable unless it is sent as a preferred header from the api.
