How to stop large responses from rendering ?

[joaojeronimo]

(this is swagger spec 2.0, swagger ui 3.0.17, I will upgrade in a bit and report back if anything changes)

I have an endpoint that delivers a very large JSON payload (about 46mb, sometimes more).

Obviously that can't be rendered on the browser, but swagger still attempts to and that crashes the browser tab.

Is there a way of forcing swagger to not render/format a response ?

I noticed that if I respond with a Content-Disposition: attachment and Content-Type: application/octet-stream swagger loads the whole response in a javascript Blob and renders a "Download file" link pointing to that blob's url, however I wouldn't want to change my API to satisfy swagger ui. Also, is this documented anywhere ? I could only find people on stack overflow mentioning it.

There's no way to control it right now, this would be a new feature.

Closing in favor of #4018, which covers most of this feature request, and has much more discussion around it.

Thanks @joaojeronimo!
