I want to download a file from the server, but I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I've been searching how to do it, but doesn't work. This is an example that I found:
Controller (ASP NET MVC):
public HttpResponseMessage GetFile(string filename)
{
try
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(filename))
{
//string filePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/") + fileName;
DirectoryInfo dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/Documentos"));
string filePath = dirInfo.FullName + @"\" + filename;
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
using (FileStream file = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
byte[] bytes = new byte[file.Length];
file.Read(bytes, 0, (int)file.Length);
ms.Write(bytes, 0, (int)file.Length);
HttpResponseMessage httpResponseMessage = new HttpResponseMessage();
httpResponseMessage.Content = new ByteArrayContent(bytes.ToArray());
httpResponseMessage.Content.Headers.Add("x-filename", filename);
httpResponseMessage.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream");//application/octet-stream
httpResponseMessage.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment");
httpResponseMessage.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition.FileName = file.Name;
httpResponseMessage.StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.OK;
return httpResponseMessage;
}
}
}
return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
}
catch (Exception)
{
return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
}
angular controller:
$scope.downloadFiles = function () {
var filename = "aae49c8e-c523-4ccc-a7ba-88f405072047&file.pdf";
$http({
method: 'GET',
url: 'serv/Consultas/GetFile',
params: { filename: filename },
responseType: "arraybuffer"
}).success(function (response) {
var file = new Blob([(response)], { type: 'application/pdf' });
var fileURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
$window.open(fileURL);
}).error(function (data, status) {
console.log("Request failed with status: " + status);
});
}
When I load the file I just get the filename incomplete "aae49c8e-c523-4ccc-a7ba-88f405072047" and don't load the file. Thanks for any help.
