Again, I want to clarify the file does arrive in the browser, but I want to ensure the "file->save..." dialog appears in the web browser when it arrives. I found some older code I wrote a couple of years ago that was behaving as expected: w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream") w.Header().Set("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + myBasePdf + ".pdf") http.ServeFile(w, req, myGenPdfFileName)
I acknowledge when I wrote this email I made a typo, but in my code I do have the Itoa correctly. w.Header().Set("Content-Length", strconv.Itoa( len(myCmdOutput) ) ) I never used that content-length field because I read somewhere that I shouldn't. Last night I took a look at iris to see how they do it and found: https://github.com/kataras/iris/blob/master/context.go#L583 err := ctx.ServeFile(filename, false) if err != nil { return err } ctx.RequestCtx.Response.Header.Set(contentDisposition, "attachment;filename= "+destinationName) I am scratching my head since the header set content-disposition is happening after the ServeFile which is different from what all the docs and what I am used to seeing. It seems calling these functions are order-independant. When does the connection actually send the file over the connection? I believe the Iris send file also provides what I want as expected behaviour, but I haven't tried it yet.
