Any help is most welcomed and really appreciated.
I have an MVC action which retries a file content from a web service. This action is invoked from a Angular service (located in services.js) using $http.post(action, model), and the action is returning a FileContentResult object, which contains the byte array and the content type.
public ActionResult DownloadResults(DownloadResultsModel downloadResultsModel)
{
downloadResult = ... // Retrieving the file from a web service
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", string.Format("attachment; filename={0}", downloadResult.FileName));
Response.BufferOutput = false;
return new FileContentResult(downloadResult.Contents, downloadResult.ContentType);
}
The issue I'm having is about the browser not performing the default behavior of handing a file (for example, prompting to open it, saving it or cancel). The action is completed successfully with having the content of the file and the file name (injected to the FileContentResult object), but there s no response from the browser.
When I'm replacing the post with $window.location.href, and construct the URI myself, I'm hitting the action and after it completes the browser is handling the file as expected.
Does anyone can think of any idea how to complete the 'post' as expected?
Thanks,

I am using below code to download the file, given that the file does exist on the server and client is sending server the full path of the file...
as per you requirement change the code to specify path on server itself.
[HttpGet]
public HttpResponseMessage DownloadFile(string filename)
{
filename = filename.Replace("\\\\", "\\").Replace("'", "").Replace("\"", "");
if (!char.IsLetter(filename[0]))
{
filename = filename.Substring(2);
}
var fileinfo = new FileInfo(filename);
if (!fileinfo.Exists)
{
throw new FileNotFoundException(fileinfo.Name);
}
try
{
var excelData = File.ReadAllBytes(filename);
var result = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
var stream = new MemoryStream(excelData);
result.Content = new StreamContent(stream);
result.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream");
result.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment")
{
FileName = fileinfo.Name
};
return result;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.ExpectationFailed, ex);
}
}
and then on client side in angular:
var downloadFile = function (filename) {
var ifr = document.createElement('iframe');
ifr.style.display = 'none';
document.body.appendChild(ifr);
ifr.src = document.location.pathname + "api/GridApi/DownloadFile?filename='" + escape(filename) + "'";
ifr.onload = function () {
document.body.removeChild(ifr);
ifr = null;
};
};

I created a service to download a PDF file.
On my server-side(Java) the PDF is generated successfully. But I am unable to download that on the UI side (Using Jquery Ajax call).
Could anyone please help me with this?
$(document).on('click', '.orderView', function(event){
orderId = $(this).attr('data');
$.ajax({
type : 'GET',
contentType : 'application/json',
url : '../service/purchase/generateInventoryPurchasePdf/'+orderId,
success : function(response) {
console.log("Success");
},
error : function(response) {
console.log("Error :" + response);
}
});
});
Java Code:
#RequestMapping(value = "/generateInventoryPurchasePdf/{purchaseId}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity<ByteArrayResource> generateInventoryPurchasePdf(HttpServletResponse response,#PathVariable("purchaseId") Long purchaseId) throws Exception {
PurchaseOrder purchaseOrder = null;
purchaseOrder = purchaseService.findByPurchaseOrderId(purchaseId);
// generate the PDF
Map<Object,Object> pdfMap = new HashMap<>();
pdfMap.put("purchaseOrder", purchaseOrder);
pdfMap.put("purchaseOrderDetail", purchaseOrder.getPurchaseOrderDetail());
pdfMap.put("vendorName", purchaseOrder.getInvVendor().getName());
pdfMap.put("vendorAddrs", purchaseOrder.getInvVendor().getVenAddress().get(0));
File file = util.generatePdf("email/purchasepdf", pdfMap);
MediaType mediaType = MediaTypeUtils.getMediaTypeForFileName(this.servletContext, file.getName());
System.out.println("fileName: " + file.getName());
System.out.println("mediaType: " + mediaType);

I'm not getting any error, PDF generate successfully in the server side. But In UI side not working.
Downloading files via AJAX isn't really a logical thing to do. When you make an AJAX call, the data returned from the server is returned into your page's JavaScript code (in the response callback value), rather than being returned to the browser itself to decide what to do. Therefore the browser has no way to initiate a download, because the browser is not directly in control of the response - your JavaScript code is in control instead.
As you've indicated in your comment below the question, there are workarounds you can use, but really the best approach is simply to use a regular non-AJAX request to download
For instance you could replace your jQuery code with something like
$(document).on('click', '.orderView', function(event){
orderId = $(this).attr('data');
window.open('../service/purchase/generateInventoryPurchasePdf/'+orderId);
});
This will download the document from a new tab without navigating away from the current page.
I was trying to download the file from azure data lake storage. it's working on c# side using Rest API. but it's not working in a java script.
My Sample c# code is
//Get Access Token
public DataLakeAccessToken ServiceAuth(string tenatId, string clientid, string clientsecret)
{
var authtokenurl = string.Format("https://login.microsoftonline.com/{0}/oauth2/token", tenatId);
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
var model = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>()
{
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("grant_type","client_credentials"),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("resource","https://management.core.windows.net/"),//Bearer
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("client_id",clientid),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("client_secret",clientsecret),
};
var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(model);
HttpResponseMessage response = client.PostAsync(authtokenurl, content).Result;
if (response.StatusCode == System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
var accessToken = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<DataLakeAccessToken>(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);
return accessToken;
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
}
File Download Code is
public void DownloadFile(string srcFilePath, ref string destFilePath)
{
int i = 0;
var folderpath = Path.GetDirectoryName(destFilePath);
var filename = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(destFilePath);
var extenstion = Path.GetExtension(destFilePath);
Increment:
var isfileExist = File.Exists(destFilePath);
if (isfileExist)
{
i++;
destFilePath = folderpath+filename + "_" + i + "_" + extenstion;
goto Increment;
}
string DownloadUrl = "https://{0}.azuredatalakestore.net/webhdfs/v1/{1}?op=OPEN&read=true";
var fullurl = string.Format(DownloadUrl, _datalakeAccountName, srcFilePath);
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", _accesstoken.access_token);
using (var formData = new MultipartFormDataContent())
{
var response = client.GetAsync(fullurl).Result;
using (var fs = new FileStream(destFilePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None))
{
response.Content.CopyToAsync(fs).Wait();
}
}
}
}
first i was Generate the token using client credentials and the token based download file using path example https://mydatalaksestore.azuredatalaksestore.net/myfolder/myfile i pass myfolder/myfile in source path and destFilePath file name based download the file
in javascript i was get the accesstoken from my api server and send the request for mydatalakestore it's throw error for cross orgin for localhost:8085 like this
Any one know how to download the datalake store file using Javascript from Client Side using Access Token without cross orgin error
Thanks in Advance
I am rewriting an existing webform to use js libraries instead of using the vendor controls and microsoft ajax tooling (basically, updating the web app to use more contemporary methodologies).
The AS-IS page (webform) uses a button click handler on the server to process the submitted data and return a document containing xml, which document can either then be saved or opened (opening opens it up as another tab in the browser). This happens asynchronously.
The TO-BE page uses jquery ajax to submit the form to an MVC controller, where virtually the same exact code is executed as in the server-side postback case. I've verified in the browser that the same data is being returned from the caller, but, after returning it, the user is NOT prompted to save/open - the page just remains as if nothing ever happened.
I will put the code below, but I think I am just missing some key diferrence between the postback and ajax/controller contexts to prompt the browser to recognize the returned data as a separate attachment to be saved. My problem is that I have looked at and tried so many ad-hoc approaches that I'm not certain what I am doing wrong at this point.
AS-IS Server Side Handler
(Abridged, since the SendXml() method is what generates the response)
protected void btnXMLButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//generate server side biz objects
//formattedXml is a string of xml iteratively generated from each selected item that was posted back
var documentStream = MemStreamMgmt.StringToMemoryStream(formattedXml);
byte[] _documentXMLFile = documentStream.ToArray();
SendXml(_documentXMLFile);
}
private void SendXml(byte[] xmlDoc)
{
string _xmlDocument = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(xmlDoc);
XDocument _xdoc = XDocument.Parse(_xmlDocument);
var _dcpXMLSchema = new XmlSchemaSet();
_dcpXMLSchema.Add("", Server.MapPath(#"~/Orders/DCP.xsd"));
bool _result = true;
try
{
_xdoc.Validate(_dcpXMLSchema, null);
}
catch (XmlSchemaValidationException)
{
//validation failed raise error
_result = false;
}
// return error message
if (!_result)
{
//stuff to display message
return;
}
// all is well .. download xml file
Response.ClearContent();
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
Response.AddHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + "XMLOrdersExported_" + string.Format("{0:yyyy-MM-dd_hh-mm-ss-tt}.xml", DateTime.Now));
Response.BinaryWrite(xmlDoc);
Response.Flush();
Context.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
Response.End();

UPDATE:
I just put the AS-IS/TO-BE side by side, and in the dev tools verified the ONLY difference (at least as far as dev tools shows) is that the ACCEPT: header for TO-BE is:
application/xhtml+xml, /; q=0.01
Whereas the header for AS-IS is
text/html, application/xhtml+xml, image/jxr, /
Update II
I've found a workaround using a 2-step process with a hyperlink. It is a mutt of a solution, but as I suspected, apparently when making an ajax call (at least a jQuery ajax call, as opposed to a straight XmlHttpRequest) it is impossible to trigger the open/save dialog. So, in the POST step, I create and save the desired file, then in the GET step (using a dynamically-created link) I send the file to the client and delete it from the server. I'm leaving this unanswered for now in the hopes someone who understands the difference deeply can explain why you can't retrieve the file in the course of a normal ajax call.
I'm using the code below for downloading with the web API in ASP.NET.
When I'm trying to click the download button, it calls the API.
After executing the "DownloadFile"-function, the download dialog box isn't coming .
[HttpGet]
public HttpResponseMessage DownloadFile(string DownloadFilePath)
{
HttpResponseMessage result = null;
var localFilePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(DownloadFilePath);
// check if parameter is valid
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(DownloadFilePath))
{
result = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
// check if file exists on the server
else if (!File.Exists(localFilePath))
{
result = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Gone);
}
else
{// serve the file to the client
result = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK);
result.Content = new StreamContent(new FileStream(localFilePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read));
result.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new System.Net.Http.Headers.ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment");
result.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition.FileName = DownloadFilePath;
}
return result;
}
I didn't get any exception from the code above, but the dialog box for downloading the file isn't coming.
Here is the code, I am using and it works great. I hope it will give you an idea
....
var fileBytes = Helper.GetFileBytes(filePath);//convert file to bytes
var stream = new MemoryStream(fileBytes);
resp.Content = new StreamContent(stream);
resp.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet");
resp.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment") { FileName = filerequest.FileName };
resp.Content.Headers.Add("Content-Encoding", "UTF-8");
return resp;
And, here is the code for GetFileBytes method,
public static byte[] GetFileBytes(string filePath)
{
var fileInfo = new FileInfo(filePath);
if (fileInfo.Exists)
{
return File.ReadAllBytes(fileInfo.FullName);
}
return null;
}
I need to capture microphone audio in IE10. So far I have two semi-working solutions:
getUserMedia from Microsoft's experimental WebRTC plugin:
http://www.html5labs.com/prototypes/media-capture-api-(2nd-updated)/media-capture-api-(2nd-update)/info
The issue with this is that while I can capture and replay the audio in the browser, I cannot send the audio to the server. In particular, it is not clear how to extract the audio data from the "blob" object:
function msStopRecordCallback(blob) {
console.log(blob) // outputs {}
console.dir(blob) // outputs {}
playMediaObject.Play(blob); // This works!
}
jRecorder: http://www.sajithmr.me/jrecorder-jquery The issue with this is that it relies on Flash to capture the audio, which is something I would like to avoid.
Are there any other ways to capture audio in IE10?
I recognize that my answer a bit late, but...
You may upload a blob to a server as following (Javascript):
function saveBlob(blob)
{
var uploader = new CustomXMLHttpRequest();
uploader.onpartreceived = function (response)
{
// TODO: handle the server response here
};
var base = window.location.toString();
var uploadService = base.substr(0, base.lastIndexOf("/")) + "/api/upload";
uploader.open("POST", uploadService, true);
uploader.responseType = "text";
var form = new FormData();
form.append("fname", blob, "audio.wav");
uploader.send(form);
}
On the server side, you may treat this blob as a file attachment, e.g. (C#):
public class UploadController : ApiController
{
public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> PostFile()
{
// Check if the request contains multipart/form-data.
if (!Request.Content.IsMimeMultipartContent())
{
throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.UnsupportedMediaType);
}
var root = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data");
var provider = new MultipartFormDataStreamProvider(root);
try
{
// Read the form data and return an async task.
await Request.Content.ReadAsMultipartAsync(provider);
var fileName = "";
// get the uploaded files.
foreach (var data in provider.FileData)
{
var file = new FileInfo(data.LocalFileName);
// TODO: handle received file here
}
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(fileName))
{
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.UnsupportedMediaType);
}
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK);
}
catch (System.Exception e)
{
return Request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, e);
}
}
}
Hope this will help.
