Use the Content-Disposition metadata¶
To override the default behavior for a browser, use the
Content-Disposition header to specify the override behavior and
assign this header to an object. For example, this header might specify
that the browser use a download program to save this file rather than
show the file, which is the default.
Example Override browser default behavior request: HTTP
This example assigns an attachment type to the Content-Disposition
header. This attachment type indicates that the file is to be downloaded
as goodbye.txt:
# curl -i $publicURL/marktwain/goodbye -X POST -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "Content-Length: 14" -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" -H "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=goodbye.txt"
