disable to force download file uploaded by tus

[iammilaad]

My upload system with tus wroks perfect but i have a problem with urls of files, when open the url of upload file, that file automatically going to download by browser, how can i handle this flow? just open file in browser without downloading…

Hi, there is nothing we can do about that. The point of the url is that it directly links to the resource. Further more, this is an XY problem. It's unclear what the underlying problem is you're trying to solve.

tusd has a hardcoded list of file types that it will show inline:

tusd/pkg/handler/unrouted_handler.go

Lines 782 to 807 in 74d6904

	// mimeInlineBrowserWhitelist is a map containing MIME types which should be
	// allowed to be rendered by browser inline, instead of being forced to be
	// downloaded. For example, HTML or SVG files are not allowed, since they may
	// contain malicious JavaScript. In a similiar fashion PDF is not on this list
	// as their parsers commonly contain vulnerabilities which can be exploited.
	// The values of this map does not convey any meaning and are therefore just
	// empty structs.
	var mimeInlineBrowserWhitelist = map[string]struct{}{
	"text/plain": struct{}{},
	"image/png": struct{}{},
	"image/jpeg": struct{}{},
	"image/gif": struct{}{},
	"image/bmp": struct{}{},
	"image/webp": struct{}{},
	"audio/wave": struct{}{},
	"audio/wav": struct{}{},
	"audio/x-wav": struct{}{},
	"audio/x-pn-wav": struct{}{},
	"audio/webm": struct{}{},
	"video/webm": struct{}{},
	"audio/ogg": struct{}{},
	"video/ogg": struct{}{},
	"application/ogg": struct{}{},
	}

Everything else is shown with a download dialog in the browser. tusd is not intended for serving file content, so there is little support for customization here.
