How to set content-disposition header in API connector

jason.galea · 2024-08-15T05:52:55.997Z

Hi,

I’ve exposed an endpoint to hit a backend workflow and give back a calendar, via an ics. This is working fine.

I’ve set the content type as “text/calendar; charset=utf8”, and when my endpoint is hit from a browser, it begins a download file process, as intended.

My problem is that to specify the filename (eg with the id of the calendar), you normally do it in the content-disposition header, with a value something like inline; filename=“calendar-123456.ics”

Since I don’t know how to set this header, the browser is defaulting a filename based on the workflow name. This works, but is not ideal, since I lose all connection to the id of the calendar that the data represents.

Does anybody know how to do this, if at all?

Thanks,
Jason

did you get anywhere on this? I’m having a similar problem where I want to use content-disposition.
The api documentation for the API I’m trying to call has this:
-F ‘file=@/path/to/file/file.pdf;filename=desired_filename.pdf’
But if I try to pass a file’s URL with ; filename=desiredfilename - it just blows up.
The api documentation suggests using this:
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=“file”; filename=“your_document_id”
I’m tempted to put that in the header with [ ] for your document id ?

Hi,

No, I have not gotten any further on this,

The issue is that there is no way to specify/modify any header except for content-type, when returning data from an api.

If there was a way to specify the content-disposition, then I know, 100%, that it would work.
