how to read content-disposition headers from server response angular 2
With new Angular Http, one can try the following in the Service code.
downloadLink(): Observable<HttpResponse<Blob>> {
return this.http.get<Blob>(this.someURL, {
observe: 'response',
responseType: 'blob' as 'json'
});
}
And use the above as
this.someService
.downloadLink()
.subscribe(
(resp: HttpResponse<Blob>) => {
console.log(resp.headers.get('content-disposition'));
data = resp.body
});
Also, on the server side, one needs to set the following header in response. 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers': 'Content-Disposition'
Like in Java Spring Boot one can do the same using
final HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.add(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_DISPOSITION, "attachment; filename=1.xlsx");
headers.add(HttpHeaders.ACCESS_CONTROL_EXPOSE_HEADERS, HttpHeaders.CONTENT_DISPOSITION);
To those complaining that the best solution is not working, and only content-type is in the headers, you need to set 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers': 'Content-Disposition' ON SERVER SIDE. I am using asp.net core, then I have to do the following.
app.UseCors(builder =>
builder.WithOrigins(originsAllowed.ToArray())
.AllowAnyMethod()
.AllowAnyHeader()
.WithExposedHeaders("Content-Disposition")
